[Design] Sharing an event the naive way

[Sheila Mooney]

It sounds to me like Jared is subscribing to a read only calendar  
here.  It's really the collection that's read only, not individual  
events. In this case, you cannot drag and drop events to/from this  
calendar (at least this is what we had in the 0.6 calendar spec). You  
should get a popup telling you that you don't have permissions to do  
this.

I seem to remember that we wanted to be able drag read-only events  
onto other calendars but this was difficult for some reason.

FYI, here's the text from the spec...

For a read only calendars the following actions/edits are allowed.

     * Selecting an event.
     * Changing the color of a calendar.
     * Renaming the calendar in the sidebar.
     * Removing the calendar/collection from the sidebar.

For a read only calendars, the following actions will popup a dialog  
indicating to the user that they do not have permissions to edit  
events this calendar.

     * Edit any data in the detail view.
     * Removing an event.
     * Double clicking in the calendar view to create an event in-place.
     * Double clicking on an event in the detail view to edit in-place.
     * Drag and drop events to/from this calendar.
     * Drag events around the calendar view.
     * Creating events using the File menu or Ctrl-N.
