[Design] [Cosmo] 0.5 spec update

[Ted Leung]

Hi Priscilla,

Here's my feedback on the spec -- my apologies for the long wait


In the section: "Scooby/Cosmo Merge -> Requirements" - most of these  
are implementation tasks, not really requirements, so we can probably  
just delete them.    The one thing that I think ought to be in the  
section on the merge is a description of what the merged UI should  
look/work like

In the section: "Hibernate Integration" - the goals should include:
     - address scalability issues with Jackrabbit by using a  
relational database
     - address backup/restore features by leveraging relational  
database's dump/restore tools

In the diagram for "Anonymous Access"
    -  At the bottom of the box labelled "Cosmo UI", workflows A and  
C end with "Click on notification link.  Desktop e-mail launches".    
Is the UI just left at the current page?

    - in the UI Details section, it would help the readability to  
have the graphics inline as opposed to linked to a separate file

In the section "Notification -> Requirements" - there is no screen  
design, which should be there when we implement this -- this is less  
urgent because this feature is moving to 0.6
    - also there is a key requirement missing, which is that the user  
needs to be able to review the mail/notification that is sent, which  
is possible with an external e-mail client, but is not possible with  
a server-based mail/notification form, because the user may have been  
anonymous

In the "Managing Time-zone" section there are no screen mockups

In the "Managing Events -> Requirements" section, I found the big  
table to be confusing and had hard time associating its contents with  
the dialog box.  I think that a visual of the dialog box that was  
tied to the table would help in this case.

In the section "Managing Events -> Terminology" , the last paragraph  
sets out what I would call the tenets for the 0.5 release (at least  
until we changed them).  I'd like to see the tenets for a release  
stated at the beginning of the spec for that release

Is the "Code Design" intended to be the location for technical specs  
for the various features outline in this spec?

I'd remove all the stuff in the "Cuts" section.

Ted
