Apologies to the list for practically spamming this recently, but it
seems directly relevant:
https://github.com/abo-abo/tiny
It has built-in support for Org dates with its %(date) function.
Apparently it can be used like this:
m\n8|**** TODO Learning from Data Week %(+ x 2) \nSCHEDULED: <%(date "Oct 7" (* x 7))> DEADLINE: <%(date "Oct 14" (* x 7))>
Which results in:
**** TODO Learning from Data Week 2
SCHEDULED: <2013-10-07 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-14 Mon>
**** TODO Learning from Data Week 3
SCHEDULED: <2013-10-14 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-21 Mon>
