[Design] [Scooby] Display of alarms

[Priscilla Chung]

Here are some issues about the alarm feature in Scooby. Please keep  
in mind we have decided not to implement a fully functioning alarm  
feature for the target user release "dogfood-able" release. Examples  
of fully functional alarms:
+ Alarm notification in a pop up box (display/edit)
+ Alarm notification sent to mobile devices (display/edit)
+ Alarm notification sent to an e-mail address (display/edit)

Currently, the target users for Scooby are:
+ Chandler user that wants to use Scooby just as a drive by view of  
their calendar
+ Non Chandler user that wants to look at my calendar (read only)

Feature: Display of Alarms

Current Behavior:
+ Currently there is no UI that exists to display or set alarms.

Use Cases:
+ A Chandler User subscribes his Chandler calendar into Scooby. There  
are alarms set on his events in Chandler. When viewing his Chandler  
calendar in Scooby, the user would like to see all the information  
stored in an event that is the same created in Chandler. Information  
such as the status and if there is an alarm set on the event.

Proposal:
+ 0.2 is not a usable release. It does not seem to be necessary to  
implement the alarm feature for 0.2, including just displaying the  
alarm in the event details/lozenge. Development for a fully  
functioning alarm feature may commence for future release. Even if it  
will not be in the target user's/dog food-able release.

UI Dependencies:
+ None.

What we need to know:
+ Is displaying alarms in Scooby created in Chandler useful or  
confusing to users?
+ Would not having alarms displayed be confusing to a Chandler Users  
who have alarm information stored in their events in Chandler?
