Weekly meetings
For a meeting, set Repeat every week until. One meeting is created per week, each with its own sign-ups and attendance, and everything you filled in (description, cost, cap, permission slip, hours) goes to every meeting.
Changing an event later

- Raise or remove the cap, and people move up from the waitlist automatically.
