[nabs-l] Accessible option to When is Good or a Google Docs Spreadsheet

Hi all,

Chris, I took a look at Doodle, but it looks like it can only work
with one group event at a time, not several.  Is this correct, or did
I just miss something?

David:  I'm keeping that in my mind as a backup plan, because the last
time I did something like that for a group project we had to keep
sending out new links because the ond ones wouldn't work after they
were used once.  I'm not sure if that was a weird fluke or what, but
especially since I think most of the girls aren't account holders on
dropbox, at least for now I don't know if I want to rely upon that
method in case it doesn't work again.

I may just end up bringing my laptop with a pre-made spreadsheet to a
meeting and get people before or after, then email the available times
to any people who don't show and email out the final copy later.  This
way since it's not a google doc any changes would have to go through
me, and they won't just be swapped out on the internet.  This will
ensure I can record who goes to which event propperly.
