I'd love to see integration of iCal info across a broad set of calendars, 
that doesn't necessarily have to be managed at OSfA, but is aggregated 
here.

For instance: it may be that the Transparency working group might want a 
calendar that is an aggregation of a Sunlight Labs event calendar and the 
travel calendars of people on their working group.  Everyone manages their 
own -- maybe I've got a Google calendar, maybe someone else has a Zimbra 
calendar, etc. -- and then it all comes together as a read-only copy.
