-------

questions regarding the licensing constraints on derivative works of  
Cosmo

rewritten in Cosmo 0.7

OSAF-ANYTIME.  He ended up modify Chandler to do it that way Cosmo  
does it.

Adam Peller followed up on a very old thread regarding Timezone  
enabled date classes -- he said that the Dojo Project was creating an  
extensions area and thought that the Cosmo timezone-enabled date  
classes might find a good home there.
+ Matthew Eernisse expressed interest in seeing this happen but noted  
that it would probably have to wait until after OSAF's preview release.

Ted Leung noted that merge tracking is coming to Subversion 1.5 and  
that might be a help as Cosmo tries to move to shorter release cycles  
after the preview release.

Don Levey had some questions about getting Cosmo 0.6.0 installed on  
his server at home.   The troubleshooting ranged into creating the  
Cosmo database using the MySQL tools, setting the correct MySQL table  
type in the Cosmo properties file, and replacing /home with /dav

Following a commit from Bobby Rullo, Matthew Eernisse said that we
