Continuing Conversations:
-------

Various threads on items in multiple collections continued.  Some of  
them migrated to the Chandler design list.

Randy Letness suggested only allowing the owner of an item to publish  
it in multiple collections
* Mimi Yin followed up with a summary of the options that she had  
seen as solutions
* Others responded to the various options in Mimi's note
* Jeffrey Harris wanted to maintain local edits to an item shared by  
someone else - this functionality is probably quite a ways out, though.
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003160.html>

Randy Letness confirmed that the implementation of items in multiple  
collections uses lazy loading to find an item's parent collections
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003161.html>

Discussion of the Cosmo WebUI service layer continued.  Most of the  
discussion was about how to bind/separate the transport and service  
layers from each other.
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-March/ 
003162.html>

The Chandler developers posted more EIM record format changes, which  
spawned a longer thread which was mostly the Chandler developers  
thrashing out things amongst themselves.
* Grant Baillie posted a long list of the changes that were still  
pending in Chandler as features for Chandler 0.7 alpha5 were completed.
