PROPOSALS

Sharing URL/tickets/passwords
Mimi sent a proposal to the list to re-iterate the Cosmo URL/ticket  
proposal: Provide sharers with an option to password protect their  
shares on top of handing out URLs with embedded tickets: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/005275.html

BCM and other expressed some reservations about the redundancy of  
having both tickets and passwords. In the end however, we seemed to  
get on the same page and agreed to go with the proposal.

Priscilla posted an alternate proposal to provide sharers with an  
option to require sharees to sign up for Cosmo accounts: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/005314.html

Next action: Discuss and close on proposals.

Quick Item Entry
Mimi sent a wiki write-up of how the Command-Line-For-Dummies is  
going to work: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006- 
August/005291.html

Darshana followed up with some questions, which were resolved on the  
list.

Undo
Mimi sent a laundry list of interactions we might need to support  
with undo. Included was a first pass at prioritization for the 1.0  
timeframe: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006- 
August/005297.html

John Anderson replied that undo should be as general as possible both  
from end-user and implementation perspectives.

Alpha 4 Sharing Spec
Sheila summarized the various sharing discussions we've had over the  
past month and delineated goals for Alpha 4: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/005312.html



DECISIONS
Jared sent out a confirmation that his proposal to change the cosmo  
domain to osaf.us has been endorsed by the list: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/005299.html



DESIGNS
Mimi sent an update to the list that the new sidebar collection/ 
overlay icons have been checked in: 2 sets: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/005302.html



DOGFOOD

Adding read-only items to other collections
Jared reported feedback that he was dismayed when he realized he  
couldn't add events from read-only subscriptions to his personal  
calendar: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-August/ 
005303.html

Sheila replied that this is a known issue from 0.6, a scenario we  
decided to cut, but that's the intent of the design is to support  
this use case.

Jared also discovered a valid bug in the process: Chandler freezes if  
you try to drag a read-only item.

Help Menu
Jared also asked when we were considering adding substantive content  
into the Help menu: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/ 
2006-August/005304.html

Sheila responded that we aren't planning a full-scale Help menu in  
the Beta timeframe, but we do need to discuss non-code deliverables  
for Beta, which will probably include a more beefed up FAQ and read-me.
