Investigate running off calendar

[chris-y]

Use caldav to run the bot off a calendar rather than having everything scheduled manually.

Advantages:

• Easier to move things around
• Easier to see when things are scheduled
• No huge list of individual bots!
• Quicker deployment as only one bot

Disadvantages:

• Might need to change bot to run at same time every day, or run it hourly and check for events.

Implementation issues:

• Will need to pass all possible bot passwords on deployment
• Will likely need to add usernames etc into calendar entry notes or generate from event title

Wow, didn't think it would be this problematic.

Yeah, so basically it would need to run once an hour, and get the calendar to check whether there is an event scheduled. If there is, it would need to get the relevant details (account, list of communities, etc) and then run as usual with the correct details.
