[Cosmo-dev] Automated Item submission to a collection

[Jared Rhine]

I wondered aloud on the design list how an Item submitted to a calendar via
an email address would work technically?  I said there that if I parsed an
event, server-side as a /Event, I knew how to create an event in a calendar
via CalDAV or ics PUT.  But how would this work for a generic Chandler Item?

I suggested that maybe the answer is the sharing format.  Is that indeed the
answer?  Will the operation be something like: Compose an XML/whatever
single-item file representing the contents of the Item.  Do a PUT with a
content-type of text/xml to the Collection's URL giving the item a unique
UUID filename?

Alternatives are perhaps CMP instead as Cosmo becomes pretty intimate with
the Chandler semantics?  Other options?

Not looking for resolution on this issue, as there's too many unknowns, but
I was hoping to reality-check likely scenarios in order to estimate their
feasibility for the service to implement.
