[Cosmo-dev] Cosmo UI Status

[Travis Vachon]

Hi folks

Just wanted to follow up on this and let everyone know where I'm at  
with this stuff.

Loading of events still only "mostly" works, but it mostly works in  
most of our supported browsers, which is an improvement. The base  
calendar ui loads without problems in all browsers, but event loading  
is still hung up on a problem with XML parsing in IE. I'm working  
with Brian to try to resolve this bug and hope to have good news  
tomorrow. Unfortunately, fixing cross browser incompatibility has  
taken all day today. The good news is we're getting these bugs now  
while they're relatively simple to catch, and I've been adding unit  
tests to avoid future regressions.

Tomorrow, assuming no unforeseen cross browser problems, I'm planning  
on finishing up the code to get Bobby's Object Model translated to  
EIM for saves and updates. My goal is to get event saving and/or  
creation working by tomorrow night. That may be ambitious, and I have  
about medium confidence that I'll be able to meet that. I can't see  
any reason why this wouldn't be done by the end of Thursday, however,  
so I'd give an upper bound of about 2 days on getting that code in  
place.

Bigger picture, I'm hoping we can get most of the details of this  
stuff wrapped up by early next week. In my mind that includes:
    * Saving/ creating events.
    * Getting/saving collection details (should be pretty  
straightforward)
    * Getting bookmarkable URLs working again (probably easy, small  
chance of  unforeseen problems)
    * Getting preferences/subscriptions working again. This depends  
on some server side code that I believe is not finished, so there is  
some dependency on that.

Let me know if you have any questions!
