[Cosmo-dev] Re: [Chandler-dev] items with same icaluid in same collection

[Katie Capps Parlante]

Moving my comments to this thread...

- I don't think we should be changing icaluids of events (generating 
random ones), I think we need to preserve them.

- I'd vote for "A". Chandler desktop would enforce that by interpreting 
imported events with the same icaluid as the same event.

Cheers,
Katie
