This is a last call for any comments on changing the icons for the  
Communications (formerly known as Mail) Kind and the Calendar Kind.  
This will in the short-term affect the Mark-up bar and Summary Table  
view. In the long-term, the App bar and Sidebar will change as well.

For background: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006- 
April/004504.html

The Communications stamp allows the user to "Address items",  
scenarios include:
+ Prepare an item to be sent out to 1 or more people
+ Annotate an item as to who the item came from (e.g. Joseph asked me  
to look into this)
+ In the short-term, the fields that users will have available to  
them include: From, To, CC and BCC
+ In the long-term, we may have richer semantics: Owner, Designate,  
Requester, Assigned to, etc...
+ The Communications stamp will most likely be the same as the icon  
for the "Who" Attribute type and any Sidebar Collections based on the  
"Who" Attribute. I can explain more if anyone has any questions about  
this.

The Calendar stamp allows users to add Date/Time metadata to an item  
such that it shows up on the calendar:
+ In the short-term, the Calendar stamp will offer start date, start  
time, end date, end time and an all-day checkbox
+ In the long-term, we may have richer semantics: Due dates,  
Milestone dates, Birthdates, Anniversary dates, Holidays, PTO days, etc.
