[Design] [Sum] Jun 26 - Jul 9

[Sheila Mooney]

Since I was out last week, this summary is a bit longer than usual...

New Design Discussions:

Priscilla posted a proposal for some minor changes to the collection  
sharing dialog - to make things a bit less confusing for the user.  
Some discussion continued around whether or not we need to have the  
sharing account label and whether or not this is meaningful  
information to the user. Specifically for the account label fields,  
we netted out with the following...
+ Collection name: ie: My Calendar
+ Sharing via: Cosmo Sharing Service OR URL ticket.

Mimi forwarded a discussion to the list that had been taking place in  
bugzilla regarding a date/time picker widget in the detail view that  
Davor created back in November. There has been some discussion around  
how to make this accessible for users. Mimi sent out a list of  
questions about how people enter date/time information.

target users.

detailed review with Brian K.

Mimi forwarded an email from Dan to the list. While going through the  
dashboard spec, Dan suggested using "Needs Action" instead "Needs  
Reply". Mimi further explained how this related to the communication  
column.

Mimi sent a post to the list about a bug filed by Markku asking for  
an adjustable sidebar. Mimi pointed out that there were several  
issues we would have to address to make this work - mini cal layout,  
custom splitter for the sidebar and snap back behavior for the  
original width. In the short-term we have decided to not have the  
width adjustable but it's a agreed that mouse-over tooltips would be  
useful for users who have long collection names.

Continued Threads:

Discussions continued around the delete key. Reid also suggested that  
the Delete key remove items from the current collection unless it's  
the All collection in which case the item would be deleted.

Other discussions:

Ted sent a link to some of Merlin's (43 Folders) thoughts on  
maximizing use of iCal. Mimi responded. pointing out that the  
workflows he described correspond closely to how stamping and  
clusters should work.
