[kwlug-disc] Android / Google calendar - events as tasks.

One of the annoying things about (Google) calendar is that it has no
sense of tasks as events (or vice versa). [Never mind google tasks for
the purpose of this message.]
It just occurred to me I could create two calendars, 'mycal' (shown) and
'mycal-done' (not shown). When a meeting has happened, for example,
moving the event from 'mycal' to 'mycal-done' would be the equivalent to
marking the meeting as completed. (Or cancelled.) Turning the display of
'mycal-done' on/off would be the equivalent to ticking (or not) 'Show
Completed'.
It also occurs to me that if one has a regular 'project' [never mind
that by definition a project is unique], one could export the (calendar)
project as a .csv, edit the dates for the next round, and import the
modified .csv.
[<tongue in cheek> Should I be looking to apply for a software patent
for these ideas?]
Any reasons why approaching these these ways doesn't make sense / are
there better ways?
Anyone know of any good web places where such tips and 'tricks' are
bandied about?
[It appears to be pointless to hold one's breath that google will ever
add the concept of 'complete' to calendar events / integrate tasks into
calendar - a la Palm Desktop / Agendus / DateBk.]
