Wow, thanks for all the info guys, more than i was expecting :). After looking around at various options, I did download the python gdata module for google's calendar. What I'm thinking is, since my fiance has two schools, she can just log into her google account and create a calendar for each school. I'm going to try to make a custom cgi front-end that will pull the data, and offer 'slots' to sign up for. When you sign up for a slot, you have to use a username for the front-end, I'm thinking I can store them in a db. That way I don't have to worry about everyone needing google calendars to be able to access hers. So when someone picks a slot and submits it, the program behind the scenes will actually just use her google account to submit, and append the username to the entry, so you can tell who did what, but it still will only require one real google account. Gdata comes with some really nice samples, one that basically does any of the calendar functions i'm going to need, so I think I should bea ble to rip the code out of that module to use, so I still get to learn the cgi doing my front-end, but that way I know I have a well functioning back-end to easy some of my troubles.
