Ted Leung opened a troubleshooting thread related to problems that  
Chandler users were having with Cosmo 0.6 on osaf.us.  This thread

Bobby Rullo re-raised the items in multiple collections security issues.
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003149.html>

Bobby Rullo had a question about the performance of an item's parent  
collection if there are items that are in many collections
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003151.html>

Bobby Rullo thought of a way to leak information out of collections  
via bookmarkable URLs
* Fortunately there is a reasonably easy fix/workaround

Continuing Conversations:
-------

Discussion of the dashboard plumbing continued.
* A major theme was how much intelligence should be in the domain  
level objects
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003088.html>

The discussion of how to represent modifications continued.  This  
weeks threads traded off ItemModifications and NoteModifications  
versus adding a few fields (parendUUID, recurrenceID) to each record.

003093.html>

Discussion continued (began, really) on Travis Vachon's WebUI Service  
Layer proposal.  Major points of the discussion
* A move to have all "user" code use the Model Data Convenience API
* What's the right layering for things like collections (are there  
even objects that represent collections); How much is the Conduit  
layer exposed
* Presence of recurrence specific methods on Items
* Items in multiple collections (and the worse case of the  
collections using different conduits)
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003097.html>

Further discussion on the Topics (notification)  Proposal:
* questions regarding granularity of channels
* need to know which part of the UI published to a topic
