This year I wrote automation around Guidebook. It was enough to run a script and suck in data without dealing with the CVS import stuff. However, there's more to be done - ideally we'd get to a point where it can just be cron'd.
I've created a Project on the GH repo to track the necessary work:

Ilan - one of them would require an addition to the Guidebook API - do we have a contact there we could request that through? Today you cannot publish guide changes through the API.
Ron - one those would is around the website. Do you think the CVS-export links could be non-auth'd? At leats for the 'accepted' one, there's no non-public data there, it's ismply the Schedule in CVS format. That would make things much simpler.
