[chandler-users] Preview Tracking Colleciton

[Sheila Mooney]

Probably an important point to mention is that we are planning on  
having a list view for Cosmo. We are still working out how much of a  
list view we can get done in time but some work has certainly started  
and we will be scoping this out in more detail over the coming weeks.  
It seems to me that people are using the account browser for this  
purpose right now because it's the only alternative.

As far as the month view goes, we simply had to cut something and we  
determined that having a week and day view were more widely used. I  
certainly expect this to come up in dogfood feedback since the month  
is useful in a number of circumstances. Again, hopefully the list  
view will address some of the use cases where users are viewing  
sparsely populated calendars.

Cheers,
Sheila
