Google calendar integration? Admin panel?

[omnikrll]

I think we could handle this through our own admin panel pretty easily, certainly more easily than integrating with Google calendar. If Show objects had properties for day, time, and frequency (weekly / bi-weekly / monthly), couldn't we set up a CRON to run every 24 hours and pull the evening's schedule?

We definitely wouldn't need a CRON (we could just query the database on page load), but I'm more concerned with managing that schedule -- I think manually keeping it in sync with the google calendar that the scheduling team uses would be the biggest pain.

[omnikrll]

That's a good point. I'll take a look at the Google calendar docs.
