[Dev] Chandler and Cosmo interoperability and dogfooding

[Lisa Dusseault]

  Chandler dogfooding goals includes sharing calendars via our hosted  
Cosmo-demo service.  Although we're working on making that go smoothly,  
there are a few wrinkles at this moment.  Some notes to make the status  
and process clear:

    * Cosmo has never undergone dogfooding before so current Chandler  
use/testing is exposing some Cosmo bugs.  Brian Moseley is working  
valiantly to fix those in a branch originating from the 0.2 release  
(and deferring some 0.3 and Scooby work for a bit).
    * We intend to declare Chandler "M6 complete" once M6 bugs are fixed  
and Aparna's tests pass, including sharing smoke tests which run  
against the cosmo-demo address built into Chandler's sharing dialog.
    * This smoke test means that there *is* a dependency on Cosmo  
bug-fixing and cosmo-demo upgrading in order to complete Chandler M6.    
This poses a risk of slight delays to M6.
    * In general we plan to upgrade the main/dogfood instance of Cosmo  
running on port 443 to a new version only when it passes QA validation  
(at least the Chandler smoke test).  (For other testing there are other  
versions of Cosmo running on different ports.)
