[Cosmo-dev] Cosmo 0.7 status

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Ted, Thanks for the Update...


Matthew,  Are you thinking you'll swing back to the Detail View to  
implement the markup bar? Triage statuses, Email this button, Read- 
only icon and all... There's also the byline functionality and the  
appears in: field (the latter is entirely puntable).

Is it now open season for logging bugs on the Detail View? Or  are  
you still planning on coming back to the stamping sections, etc?

The left-aligned checkboxes and text link for show/hide look great!

Thx,
Mimi
