[Design] Expectations for using Cosmo 0.5 to edit calendars

We have found a potential bug that corrupts a users' calendar data if  
they edit calendars (published from Chandler) from the Cosmo UI. I  
unfortunately can't give you more info than that since we are still  
in the process of investigating this further to determine if this is  
indeed the problem.

In the meantime, I just wanted to remind everyone that Cosmo 0.5 is  
not fully dogfoodable yet. We haven't had the opportunity to do the  
type of dogfood testing on the Cosmo UI that we have done with  
Chandler. Testing out the Cosmo UI and logging QA bugs is welcome and  
encouraged since it helps us get Cosmo to a more stable state.  
However, trying to edit real calendar data with Cosmo is somewhat  
risky at this stage and we recommend you try this with test calendars  
only.

Just to set expectations, if we find problems Chandler to Chandler  
sharing we would consider a patch to fix this so we do not block  
Chandler dogfooding. Bugs found using the Cosmo UI will simply be  
logged and fixed in the next release since we are not at the stage in  
the project where dogfood maintainability is a goal. Cosmo 0.6 will  
be our "first dogfoodable release" and implies we will have higher  
stability expectations for Cosmo UI in the next iteration.

Cheers,
Sheila
