Guidebook has been selling us their app for about 1/10th the normal cost.  I dont know that they'll do any feature development for us.
Additionally, Derek has been developing a different SCALE app from scratch that we may want to use in future years. I'm not sure if we'll be using Guidebook again in 2019.
Mostly depends on if the app Derek started is finished.

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.
