Background:
I'm in a training program with about 14 others. We have rotations that we alternate through each month. On all rotations, we have a mandatory lecture schedule. On some rotations, there are supplemental lectures that are mandatory.
Goal: I want to manage two sets of global calendars and one schedule matrix, and have a service/software generate 15 calendar subscriptions that will appropriately give the subscriber the actual lectures they are supposed to attend. The other highly desirable "feature" is that I don't want a fully publicly shared calendar. Some lecturers don't want their topics available to anyone outside of the program, and I want to respect that.
Example usage:
If one of the lectures is cancelled, all I have to do is update one of the global calendars and the subscription updates on its own.
If trainee A and trainee B switch their rotations in the month of November, I put that in the schedule matrix, and their subscriptions update automatically.
Bonus:
If the global calendars have a web output compatible with something like wikispaces, (i.e.: iframe embedding) that'd be even better. I don't need security to be bulletproof. Security by use of private keys/addresses is sufficient. (Access is already controlled by wikispaces)
