Part III.

I had also noticed one more thing in your mock up which is consistent  
to the desktop, but odd in general—and is not on the web UI. Camel  
case on the title fields in the Detail View. I know in iCal it's all  
lower case, but in .Mac it's all camel case, so which is correct? I  
personally try to follow the english sentence rules and create an  
upper case on the first letter as if it were a sentence.

Few more responses in line. Thanks, -Priscilla

I'll be making a pass at the mark up bar buttons for the different  
states.

I think we also decided to eliminate the 'You are currently viewing'  
title above the drop down list in the left side bar. I'm wondering if  
there is a way to bump up the collection name so it's more obvious  
*you are currently viewing* this collection?
