@ OSAF

Reviewing four issues filed against (Chandler Hub) Sharing Service:
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12459> 
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12460> 
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12579> 
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12580> 

Where Apple iCal 3.0.6 (1273) fails, Sunbird 0.9 succeeds.

Side notes: 

Re 12459 for a note-to-calendar workflow to be fully reflected in Sunbird,
multiple refreshes are required: 

 1. the normal refresh, before the Chandler user has placed the note in the
calendar, properly yields a Task listing in Sunbird

 2. the next refresh, after the Chandler user has placed the note in the
calendar, yields an event in Sunbird *without* removing the (previous
iteration) task

 3. an 'extra' refresh removes the task from Sunbird's listing.

Re 12460 for a calendar-to-without workflow, Sunbird appears to require no
'extra' refresh; a single refresh at the appropriate point will both (a)
remove the event from the calendar and (b) list the corresponding task.

I'm tempted to resolve/invalidate at least 12459, 12460 and 12579, but I
don't know whether the simple comparison of two CalDAV clients is enough for
that decision. 

(iCal seems to attempt more than Sunbird, e.g. auto-presentation of new
collections in a principal user's account, so I don't treat the two clients
as equal in tests such as these.)

Should forthcoming CalConnect XIV be a guiding factor in a situation such as
this?

Please advise. I'll update the Apple bug report.

Best regards
Graham
