[Ted Leung]

Here's the summary of the activity on cosmo-dev for the week of   
December 31, 2006.

New threads:
-------

Jared Rhine started a discussion on infrastructure for collecting  
metrics.  He proposed making the account name available in the Cosmo  
access logs
* Brian Moseley was in favor

Katie Capps Parlante posted a note to clarify dogfood expectations  
for Cosmo 0.6
* There was general agreement on the items in her note
* There was some question about interop bugs with clients besides  
Chandler desktop - for now these will receive very high priority
* There was also discussion about implementing features from the  
latest CalDAV draft.   Cosmo is missing features starting with draft  
11, and the current draft is 15

Travis Vachon finished his work on making a custom Dojo build, and is  
handing off to Mike Taylor to integrate that work into the Cosmo  
build process.
* Ted Leung asked for statistics - The custom build reduced 68  
requests (785k total) to 2 requests (401k total)
* Brian Moseley asked about modularizing the custom build
* Travis Vachon replied that this is the ideal, but that the build  
system doesn't make it easy to do this.

Brian Moseley wanted to know if it was okay to represent EIM  
timestamps as UNIX timestamps.  Brian, Morgen Sagen, and Phillip Eby  
agreed to use a 20 digit Decimal subtype.

Travis Vachon wanted confirmation that account activation e-mails be  
turned on by default.

will be off by default.

Matthew Eernisse pointed out that code is intentionally duplicated  
between the LoginDialog widget and the AuthBox used for adding  
collection subscriptions.  The future path is to replace the  
LoginDialog with AuthBox, but this won't happen in 0.6
