Travis Vachon posted an overview of his changes for the Account  
Activation feature.
+ Brian Moselely questioned the need for a new service when  
UserService is supposed to handle all operations on users.
+ Travis Vachon said that the reason for a new service was to allow  
different activation behaviors.
+ Brian Moseley had some suggestions based on a better understanding  
of Travis' goals

Vinu Gopal posted more thoughts on using Acegi ACL's to help  
implement WebDAV ACL's.
+ Brian Moseley suggested using acegi jdbc in preference to Hibernate
+ Vinu Gopal had heard that jdbc would be faster so he was in agreement
+ Randy Letness was worried about having two persistence apis: acegi  
and Hibernate
+ Vinu Gopal was okay with two apis if it meant good performance
+ Brian Moseley was more concerned about getting the feature done  
than performance
+ Vinu Gopal was going to look at Hibernate some more

Travis Vachon described how to fix some problems due to the HTTP  
logging filter needing information from Snarf - so people need to  
upgrade their Snarfs.   He also noted that there was a schema change  
due to the checkin

Brian Moseley wondered why there was an EIM record for createdOn but  
no similar field for last modification date:
+ Morgen Sagen replied that it was because that field didn't exist in  
the Chandler domain model.
+ Grant Baillie reported that lastModified is in the Chandler domain  
model but that it is unused.

Matthew Eernisse posted the results of measuring the time to execute  
various Cosmo related stuff in various browsers, using Dojo and not  
using Dojo.  There is definitely a performance penalty for using  
Dojo.   Matthew suggested trying to get some kind of performance  
testing into the automated test system.

Continuing Conversations:
-------

More Morse Code spec discussion:
+ Randy Letness pointed out the implicit locks on update would also  
need to affect CalDAV PUT's.
+ Brian Moseley agreed, and went further to say that all updates  
ought to be locked.
+ Brian Moseley answered Morgen Sagen's question about what the  
client and server send:  The server always sends all the records for  
a modified item.  The client  always sends all the records (modified  
or not) for an item

More Cosmo Data Migration
+ Randy Letness said that the upgrade tools would likely be a  
combination of hibernate tools and jdbc code, and can probably be  
done in 1 week
+ Brian Moseley was thinking more of external (non-Java) scripts,  
most likely sql scripts.
+ After further discussion Randy was going to investigate SQL scripts
