Multiple account sync #320

I think one of the issues of this application is not having the ability to sync and talk to different services that people use on the daily basis. Services like Google calendar or Microsoft outlook. It would be convenient for users to have the services they use in one place. For example, a user could add a calendar event on his/her phone to their Gmail account. so instead of having to go add the event manually to their RaiderPlanner, the event would already be added automatically through the sync function. Also, what if RaiderPlanner could check incoming emails and see if the email contains an event and ask the user if they would like to add that event to their planner. Having this function would improve the convenience of the application and would fill the gap of having the need to use multiple applications for each account.

This is an interesting idea. To keep it manageable, we should decide on one or two services to start with and focus on those. We should also consider some sort of abstract layer that might help make the interactions with various services more modular.
