TODOs

So many.

• Autocomplete support for locations using ... what? how about a page full of h-cards with venue information? http://indieweb.org/venue
• Automatic timezone selection?
  • once date/time and location (even approx) are known, can find proper timezone.
    • Atlas does this
    • Could also guess from the browser's local tz + event time
    • could dig into W3C best practices for timezones
      • tzinfo
      • CLDR
• Categories: split on commas and strip whitespace and put into category[] format
• Support for syndication links from silos
• CORS issues? Use a proxy?
