Randy Letness tried to merge the 0.6.1 branch back to the Cosmo trunk

the files to help sort out the changes.

Pieter Hartsook wanted to know if the Cosmo 0.6.1 help link  
destination needed any content updates.  He received no reply.

Brian Moseley observed that recent changes have removed the Welcome  
note from the out of the box collection.  He suggested that it be put  
back.  He and Matthew Eernisse discussed how best to do that - it  
looks like the server side is the best place.   Travis Vachon  
volunteered to take care of this while fixing another bug.

possible.

Bobby Rullo posted an update on the status of getting the Cosmo UI  
put back together again.  A bunch of other people followed up and did  
likewise.

Bobby Rullo described his plan to implement Item Diffing for saving  
data from the web UI to the server.  The ensuing discussion helped  
flesh out some of the details of how this would work, and interact  
with the existing web UI code.

Priscilla Chung started a thread to craft the contents of the Cosmo  
0.6.1 release notes.

Jeremy Epstein contributed a patch for dynamically resizing DOM  
elements.  Matthew Eernisse looked at the code and liked it.  He  
plans to commit it.

003706.html>

Bobby Rullo posted the notes from a meeting on how to implement the  
server side functionality needed for the dashboard.  Important  
elements are three queries, one for each section of the dashboard,  
and sorting/pagination to be handled by the web UI.

bogus path for the cookie containing the username and password.

Pieter Hartsook wanted to know when we would be switching to using  
Chander Server in documentation.  Priscilla Chung replied that it  
would be happening before 0.7 and volunteered to address Pieter's  
specific situation.
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-May/ 
003727.html>

Jared Rhine responded to one of the Cosmo 0.6.1 release mails, noting  
that we shouldn't be waiting for the service to update before doing  
the full complement of release notifications.

003728.html>

Randy Letness finished a first cut a improving the way that Cosmo  
indexes timerange queries.  Brian Moselely noted that some of the API  
would probalby need to change, but needed to see the code first.   
Bobby Rullo requested and Randy provided, a more detailed explanation  
of how the new code works.

Matthew Eernisse also posted an update on his work on the web UI.

Randy Letness continued a private discussion about occurrences and  
modifications in EIMML.  The problem is how to distinguish between  
occurrences and modifications.  They settled on an EIMML occurrence  
element.

Randy Letness wanted to know if he could get rid of some API's used  
by RPCService.  He was told he could rip RPCService out of the Cosmo  
trunk.
