Travis Vachon noted that there were situations where some Javascript  
library versions could be out of sync.  He proposed two solutions to  
the problem.
* Matthew Eernisse suggested versioning the entire Javascript  
directory and then using URL rewriting to reduce impact of having a  
versioned directory.

Matthew Eernisse posted part of a discussion he had with Melissa Choy  
about adding a Day and Month View to Cosmo's calendar.  Lots of good  
information in this message.

Ted Leung proposed a way of streamlining the Cosmo bug council so  
that it required fewer people and was less dependent on an in person  
meeting.
* Respondents were generally favorable.

Jeffrey Harris requested some EIM related changes.
* The ensuing discussion revolved around to deal with various null- 
like concepts in EIM
* The final summary arrived here: <http://lists.osafoundation.org/

Jared Rhine noted that the custom Dojo build has reduced the size of  
Cosmo's Javascript downloads to 444Kb.   He also pointed out that  
gzipping the file reduces it to 114Kb.   He proposed either  
mod_deflate or static delivery of a gzipped file as a way to make  
this happen for Cosmo.
* Matthew Eernisse pointed out  pitfall for IE6 users and gzipped  
content
* After some additional discussion a server side solution based on  
user-agent appeared to be a reasonable solution.

Bobby Rullo
Pulled over a piece of a conversation on the design list about  
dashboard conflict resolution, pointing out that it might be  
necessary to do some conflict resolution in the Cosmo dashboard.

Ted Leung posted a message about the Cosmo 0.6RC2 build, and asked  
for a Cosmo 0.6.1 branch so that the Cosmo 0.6 branch could be kept  
checkin free per QA's request
* Brian Moseley did not want to see another branch off the trunk, but  
could live with a temporary branch off of the Cosmo 0.6 branch until  
Cosmo 0.6 was finally released
* Ted was fine with the temporary branch.
