[Design] [Please Review] Dashboard Spec Update - Recurring Events

[Mimi Yin]

Okay, so are we saying that Triaging, Adding/Removing Custom  
reminders will always apply to individual occurrences no matter where  
you are, Dashboard or Calendar?

Invoking the Task stamp I think should pop-up the dialog asking users  
if they want to apply/remove the stamp to the entire series, the  
single occurrence or this and future occurrences, regardless of where  
you are. Is this consistent with how you're thinking about things? or  
would this require reworking?

And Marking as Read/Unread/Needs reply always applies to the entire  
series?
