[Cosmo-dev] [Sum] Jun 10-16

[Ted Leung]

Here's the summary of the activity on cosmo-dev for the week of June  
10, 2007.

New threads:
-------

Brian Moseley proposed using Atom's media facilities, along with  
XHTML based microformats for creating and updating in the Cosmo Web  
UI.   Cosmo would continue to use eimml and eim-json for representing  
items,.
+ there was a lengthy discussion about how hard it would be to  
implement these changes.

Brian Moseley wondered if a collection's item feed needed to include  
all the data for each item/entry, and suggested specialized feeds for  
the various projections needed by the web UI.
+ Travis Vachon thought that it might be good to have specialized  
feeds, but was concerned about whether this could be done for Preview.

Jared Rhine, in his new responsibility of Cosmo release manager,  
suggested having a Cosmo release meeting.

Randy Letness wanted to know how non-event items got sorted in the  
dashboard, since they are missing a triageStatusChanged to compare to  
triageStatusChanged.
+ He and Brian Moseley tossed some ideas back and forth and asked  
desktop folks what happened in Chandler Desktop.
+ Jeffrey Harris  responded that everything on the desktop has  
triageStatusChanged and felt that using last-modified time (as  
proposed) would be just fine.

Tim Pokorny, a Google Summer of Code student, introduced himself and  
his project - providing Comet style event notifications to the Cosmo  
web UI.

003920.html>

Randy Letness wanted to know whether feeds that include modifications  
or occurrences should also include the master's recordset, and if so,  
where.
+ after a long exchange, people agreed that nothing should be changed  
from the way that the feeds currently work.
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-June/ 
003922.html>

Bobby Rullo proposed adding a mechanism (query parameter/header/etc)  
to tell the server that the client is changing the start date of a  
master event, and that the server needs to change the recurrence id's  
of that master event's occurrences.
+ Brian Moselely reversed objections that he raised in IRC and agreed  
that this was a useful thing to do.

003929.html>

Brian Moseley checked in code to provide the feeds needed by the  
dashboard.
+ There was some additional discussion about whether and how to  
support timezone information in the feeds.   It turns out that  
timezone information is needed.

Brian Moseley updated the build of Abdera and reminded people of how  
to make sure they got the update.

Mikeal Rogers wanted more information about the use of jsunit in  
Cosmo so he could figure out how to use windmill to run jsunit based  
tests.

Sheila Mooney posted a product planning view of the important  
features in Cosmo 0.7 in order to help make cuts in features (as  
opposed to moving the Cosmo 0.7 date).
+ Ted Leung said that he would be making feature cuts on Friday, June  
15.
