New Design Discussions:

John had sent Mimi and I an email indicating that he checked in a  
change that would enable us to multiple windows and we should take  
this into consideration in the design. Discussion continued around  
what behavior would be easy for us to try out. Mimi forwarded this  
thread to the list.

Mimi forwarded the notes from her interview with Mini Kahlon of LPFI.  
Mini fits into our "Hub" target user category.

Jeffrey sent a post asking for clarification around how overlays work  
with the dashboard collections. Mimi clarified the behavior.
+ If a user has a dashboard collection selected then overlays a user- 
defined collection, this is interpreted as a context switch. The  
selection switches from the dashboard to the user-defined area.

Continued Threads:

Bryan S responded to the dashboard spec with some specific questions.  
In summary, based on Mimi's response. The dashboard views for a  
specific app area should look the same as the "D" dashboard (All app  
area). Ticklers co-exist with reminders and popup reminder dialogs.  
Detail view mockups are forthcoming.

Mimi responded to Edward Porter's post on the task list feature  
pointing him to the dashboard specs and various wiki pages that are  
relevant.

Sheila sent out the notes for a meeting we had on clarifying the  
meaning of In/Out when you have a shared events stamped as mails. We  
converged on a proposal for how we will handle this in 1.0.

Jeffrey responded to an old thread about having events with no  
specified start and end time. He was wondering if this was still in  
our plans since there are a number of places in the code where we  
assume these events have times. He suggested that we don't try and  
translate these to iCalendar. He also wondered about whether or not  
we add the start date when we stamp the item as an event. Mimi  
replied that we should probably leave out the time since we can't  
assume people want to schedule an event for now.

Dennis Lynch pinged us regarding his idea for the preview pane. He  
had never heard any feedback. Sheila responded that we were focussing  
the design discussions on short-term goals.

Other discussions:

Hank Williams sent us a post stating his concerns about the  
performance of the application. He received various responses  
suggesting he wait for the intel mac version released with Alpha3.  
There was some subsequent discussion about specific performance  
problems and how we will be addressing them..
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-June/004850.html

Sheila sent out an announcement that we had released a patched  
version of Alpha2 to increase the sharing timeout.
