This is more-or-less working now. Here's a screencast: http://plone.tv/media/1442083360/

Sprint aims 

Implement recurring events as outlined in PLIP #158   (Plone Improvement Proposal)

• Finish the technical aspects of recurrence of p4a.ploneevent

• Integrate the recurrence with Dateable so we have views that works with recurrence.

• Merge Plone4ArtistsCalendar + Dateable.

I wouldn't mind pairing on this. Though I was coming at it from a more dynamic angle and less of an instantiate-lots-of-Events one, I've already loaded a lot of this into my head.—ErikRose
