GoogleDoc Experiment

A few of us have been messing around with the Info desk schedule in GoogleDocs. The Info desk skedmeister creates it as an MS Excel spreadsheet and stores it on our common server. Recently we uploaded the sked in GoogleDocs and invited the other schedulers in as collaborators. The schedule imported beautifully, but we realized that the drawback to having the schedule on the web is the URL. To keep the same URL, we would need to delete the current schedule and reload each new schedule weekly, probably on Saturday, which might not be very convenient. If we let Google change the URL weekly, we’d have to refer back to our email for the link. It is fun to play with, until I remember the fifteen other work tasks that should be taking priority.
