[Ted Leung]

Here's the summary of the activity on cosmo-dev for the week of March  
18, 2007.

New threads:
-------

Jared Rhine posted some questions about the EIM/Morse Code work.  He  
wanted know if EIM would support:
1) user driven backups
2) e-mails submission of non-event items
+ Brian Moseley replied that EIM/EIMML as a transfer format would  
work, but that Morse Code would not.   He suggested that what Jared  
was really looking for was EIMML delivered via Atom

Brian Moseley wrote to say that he incorporated a stock iCal4J build  
into the Cosmo 0.6.1 and was able to isolate the few remaining custom  
patches to org.osaf.cosmo.calendar.   The switch to the stock build  
will require some code changes in Cosmo
