You know you want to.

I'm going to start looking into this. It's a big task though, so if anyone else is interested feel free to join.

Just want to mention, from experience, it's a pain to do anything with the Facebook apis (especially with the new policies in place). I would make this a low priority (not necessary for release).

It's more of a nice-to-have feature...it shouldn't take that much longer to copy and paste details from FB to Teudu.

Yeah, Facebook has a reputation for less than reliable documentation.

Vivek was saying the same thing.

My thought was that Facebook integration lowers the cost to add an event significantly, as ideally the event creator can just click "Send to Teudu" from Facebook. By lowering this cost, we can get more events on Teudu faster. This is really our primary goal right now, because we won't get users until we have events.

Ok, so how does this sound:

Button on Create Event page says "Add Facebook Event"
Click "Add Facebook Event"
-> FB Login page
-> If 1st time: Permissions
-> List of your events. User selects events
-> If event is public, upload data to Teudu. Else give user error.
