address the phishing issues

Bobby Rullo asked a question about ensuring that scenarios/features  
end up in the QA Test scripts
* Adam Christian replied that initial tests using the new Windmill  
framework are being written this week.  He also suggested a wiki page  
for functionality which cannot yet be automated.
* Mikeal Rogers pointed to the non-UI functional test cases
* Ted Leung suggested using Dan Steinecke's Chandler test specs as an  
example.
* Brian Moseley asked that the functional test information be linked  
from the Cosmo development home page
* There was some discussion about obsolete test tools in the build
* Aparna Kadakia said that in Cosmo 0.7, the Cosmo test specs will be  
written in the same format as Dan's Chandler specs.

Jared Rhine asked about maintaining backward compatibility between / 
home and /dav urls.
* There was a long discussion about whether or not backward  
compatibility was a requirement - It is.  And possible solutions:  
redirection, changes to Chandler, having people type over the default  
URLs

Ted Leung asked folks to contribute to a list of projects for summer  
interns (Summer of Code students, and any newcomer, for that mattter)
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-January/ 
002698.html>

Brian Moseley proposed three different solutions for the /home -> / 
dav migration problem.  The third proposal, use of mod_rewrite on  
servers needing backward compatibility seemed to have the most support.

Bobby Rullo asked about a change to make certain Javascript unit  
tests not run under certain versions of Safari
* some discussion ensued, and the change was accepted

002717.html>

Jared Rhine noted that due to bugs we probably have some bad data in  
the database for osaf.us.  He wanted to know if there was anything  
that could be done in the Cosmo code to help with this.
* After a long discussion, it turns out that the 0.5 to 0.6 migration  
code will take care of the particular problem that sparked Jared's  
question.

Brian Moseley opined that Randy Letness's bug fix for moving items  
should not generate a new UID
* Randy agreed that this should be done in Cosmo 0.6.1
