[Sheila Mooney]

Last week's design list summary...

New Threads:

Jim Sowers posted a suggestion about having a simple field in the  
calendar for marking anniversaries and birthdays and having a  
birthday field in one of the contact fields. Philippe replied with a  
link to http://www.birthdayalarm.com/ for him to checkout.

Mimi forwarded an email from John where he had some questions about  
the Search spec.
+ All the specifics are best summarized and added to the spec.

Mimi posted a discussion that she and John were having around  
clarifying some of the sidebar behavior particularly when you change  
between selecting an ootb collection and a user-defined collection  
and overlays.
+ Some of the clarifications that came out of this thread will be  
added to the sidebar spec.

Sheila posted a summary for What is the minimum feature set we can  
put up with in an early release of Chandler?

Jeffrey posted about a potential hitch in the event lozenge syntax.
+ He wanted to confirm the latest visuals (no D shape)
+ He asked about the ordering of the collections swatches. We need to  
make sure the ones next to each other provide good contrast and Mimi  
would like to be able to iterate on in order to get it right.
+ Jeffrey asked what we do when there isn't enough room to display  
all the swatches. Mimi wasn't sure if he meant in the menu or not.
+ The TZ abbreviation should appear when it's different from the  
calendar TZ.

Grant posted a few questions about Imported and/or recurring events  
in the new dashboard.
+ When he imported a calendar, all old events filled up the NOW  
section of the dashboard. He suggested we automatically put past  
imported events in the DONE section and future ones in LATER.
+ He brought up some good questions about what happens when we change  
the triage status for a recurring events in general.

Continued Threads:

Sheila responded to Priscilla's post on the Scooby 0.3 spec with a  
few comments.
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-July/005181.html

Jeffrey responded to Mimi's post on Stamping, Communications and the  
Ecosystem where she describes the edit update behavior for a Chandler  
users sending items to non-Chandler users, Scooby users and other  
Chandler users some sharing, others not.
+ Jeffrey pointed out an inconsistency in the description for the  
Chandler user not sharing and the Chandler user who is sharing. Mimi  
just switched the descriptions.
+ Jeffrey also asked if Chandler new about whether they are sending  
to Scooby user or a non Scooby user. Mimi replied that there is only  
a singleURL that people can click on which can direct people to  
Scooby or Chandler.
+ Jeffrey also asks about Reply to All vs just replying to the sender  
and the impact on whether or not we have per user tickets. Mimi  
indicates that we can't really control whether a person replies to  
everyone or not. Also, we aren't going to have per user tickets in  
the Beta timeframe and will note the issues we might have to address  
when and if we decide to implement this.

There was continued discussion around emailing to collections which  
will be address in more detail in the summary (coming soon).

Jared and otheres continued discussions on the email - bridging the  
gap thread.

This thread has been summarized at...
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/005225.html

Jeffrey also responded to Mimi's post about Sharing URLs/ 
Rationalizing UUIDs treatment/ACLs/Export with comments on the  
complications that go with sharing secondary items. This thread  
contains a mishmash of issues.
+ We will not be tackling the sharing of secondary items for the Beta  
timeframe. This will be worked into the 1.0 plan. Some of the other  
merging stuff we probably will handle to some degree.
+ Mimi pointed out that this stuff should go into the sharing spec  
for Beta.
