it would still be a bunch of code to write, and we don't have all that
much time left. doing this the right way, with gdata or calatom, will
take more time than we've got. i'm all for doing it eventually,
hopefully for preview even, but not just now.

as i told travis in irc earlier, i was envisioning simple anonymous
json-rpc access to a separate url with just the methods needed for
anonymous calendar viewing. all of these method signatures would
include a ticket key and would do manual ticket authentication.
