Google Calendar supports repeated meetings. To set one up, in your meeting invitation, put a check in the "Repeat ... " box and select your options in the Repeat dialog box. Examples of possible repeating events include daily meetings; Monday, Wednesday, Friday meetings; monthly and bi-weekly events.
To create non-regular repeating patterns, set up the regular repeating event and then modify the events that differ from the pattern.
