[python-events] Possible automation scenarios

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Hi Mayank,

there have been some attempts, but nothing materialized.

Automating the whole process is not possible, since we always
have to check whether the data is valid, the events are eligible,
choice of calendar and possible corrections.

What would help is a form input system which then outputs the
events in a standard format via email in both text and ical
format, so that adding the events to the calendars becomes
a simple accept task. On the website we could then point
people to an input form.

This would reduce a lot of the overhead from malformed
submissions.

That said, I don't know where this could be hosted. One option
would be the python.org website, but getting stuff into the code
base is not the easiest thing in the world.

Another option would be a Google form based system using
a Google Apps Script backend.

Thanks,
