I would be happy to convert everyone who desires into a ">= Project
Developer." Sadly, unless I am mistaken, this is not a one-click task. I
have to actually delete an existing membership, and then re-add it with
the desired new role.

I have just moved to a new webhost for myself, and they support WebDAV.
I will be happy to move the Edu calendar there (my own calendars will be
moving there) as there would not be all this hassle of roles.

Thoughts?
