[Ted Leung]

Here's the summary of the activity on cosmo-dev for the week of July  
29, 2007.

New threads:
-------

Matthew Eernisse was concerned about having non-translatable strings  
in the message file
+ Brian Moseley reviewed standard practice for localized URLs in Java  
webapps, and Travis Vachon was amenable to Matthew's suggestions  
about size constants

Matthew Eernisse pointed out some problems with the new Javascript  
error handling code, namely that it now forced all lower layer errors  
to go to a pop dialog box and to not got to the regular javascript  
console.
+ There was an active discussion about the tradeoffs between  
implementing the new error handling code which seems better for end  
users, and satisfying Matthew's desire for an environment which would  
be efficient for developers
+ It looked like a comprehensive and architecturally clean solution  
was beyond the timeframe for Cosmo 0.7

Philippe Bossut reminded people that Bugzilla was to be upgraded to  
Bugzilla 3.0 on Tues Jul 31 (the upgrade was successful)

Ted Leung proposed a list of bugs to defer from Cosmo 0.7
+ People agreed with the proposal, and the bugs were deferred
+ As part of this discussion, it was decided to defer support for  
Safari to a 0.7 point release.

Heikki Toivonen wanted to deprecate the LATER resolution after the  
Bugzilla upgrade and take all bugs resolved LATER, and reopen them  
under the Future milestone
+ Ted Leung agreed, and Heikki moved the bugs

Randy Letness discovered a problem with items in multiple  
collections, where the modifications to a recurring event might end  
up in a different collection than their parent event.  He fixed the  
problem but discovered that there was already live data with the  
problem modifications.  He wanted to know whether the migration code  
should fixup these errors.
+ there was general agreement that the migration code should fix  
extant instances of the problem.
