9 ============
10
11 Google Calendar Multimerge (GCMM) is a simple Python utility for
12 creating a "merged" calendar from a number of "source" calendars.
13 Through Google Calendar API, events are copied from source calendars
14 to the target calendar and updated on each run. Deleted events will
15 be accordingly deleted from the target.
16
17 In practice, the target is always an amalgamate of the sources, if
18 any events are added or deleted from it manually, they will be deleted
19 or re-added accordingly from it on the next run of GCMM.
20
21 The reason for GCMM is that while an amalgamate view of all calendars
22 (shared or not) can be viewed through the main calendar site, the
23 amalgamate view can't be shared or viewed as an embedded element
24 directly.
