I don't see how that's possible given all of those 10 people have different scheduled :/ I don't find it too hard to schedule ~10 people for a meeting using the "Find a time" tab in the new event page of gcal. The grid layout and auto-suggesting times that work for everyone is nice. The problem comes when *someone* will have to have something scheduled over; that takes looking at people's events and guessing which are most important. It's not a fun job that I tend to just offload to Sarah, Megan, Praveena, with immense gratitude. Actually, given that our amazing admin/project coordinator staff are the ones who do a ton of the heavy lifting on gcals, I would suggest talking with a couple of them about their likes/dislikes/suggestions of the system; they'll probably have the best information to give (and probably not on this list).
