Super time-saving awesomeness it would be to have iCalendar export for rooms, teachers, and students.

Current scheduling is terrible. We need the following features:
rotating work days
ical format
ability to add remove specific days

Schooltool has ok scheduling but it isn't printable and isn't really a full replacement for what we have. 

Need to look for other alternatives/python/js libraries that might make this easier.

This topic needs some discussion. Can we do a google hangout and discuss this more this week? There are existing django frameworks for events. But none are really great. This one is somewhat active but have a million forks as the main project seems dead.

https://github.com/thauber/django-schedule/network

To realistically use it, we would probably need to organize taking over the project and integrating the forks and making a central place to people to contribute to.

Can you take a minute to look for alternatives and see if anything is better? I picked an random somewhat up to date fork and evaluated it. 

+ Ajax UI
+ Recurring events
+ Decent UI (click to create, edit, drag to move it, resize to change time, etc)
+ RSS
- ical support broken (is it just a stub?)
- Buggy, not deployable as is.
- Requires taking over a fairly active project

Features needed:
- 4 day rotating schedule
- lookup by room or teacher
- Google can read iCalendar feeds: http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37100

Another feature to consider - using api to automatically add ical feeds to students and teachers.

Preliminary work - decide on model changes to support rotation days. Play with exporting to ical. John is going to look into a framework for tasks
