I agree with James and Oliver - this is not a replacement of the existing
office hours that are timetabled on Meta-Wiki, instead just a duplication
of them in a format that will be easier for people to add to their mobile
devices (phones, tablets) and for people that use Google Calendars for
personal use, they will be able to see the IRC office hours with their
normal calendar so as to raise awareness and increase community
participation in them.
