Randy Letness posted his first cut at a proposal for the new sharing  
format/protocol work for Cosmo 0.6
+ Brian Moseley wants to get away from PUTing EIM and iCal data for  
each event.   He only wants to see EIM records.
+ Brian and Bobby Rullo got into a discussion on the issues around  
strong ETags, and what is needed to support them in Cosmo
+ Randy and Brian discussed the problem of EIM+iCal a bit more.    
Much of the issue revolved around whether Cosmo needs to "understand"  
EIM records that don't map to Cosmo's current (or future) object model.
+ Morgen Sagen explained how he is going to approach things from the  
Chandler end, including the phases he sees and what functionality  
happens at which phase.

Travis Vachon proposed that we upgrade to Spring 2.0 along with Maven  
2.0.   Big benefits would be simplified configuration files.
+ Brian Moseley and Mike Taylor suggested that Travis not wait for  
Maven 2.0
