Having a Google account makes editing the document easy. Feel free to
tell me you want in and give me the info for the spreadsheet so that I
can fill it in. It was just the easiest thing to setup quickly.

I am not trying to force people to have a Google account. It's just a
very easy and transparent way to generate the list. I just wanted
something easy to setup. Like I said before, feel free to send me your
name, days of the week that are best for you to meet, and a contact
email address. I will add it to the spreadsheet.
