[Dev] collections and notifications meetup -- part deux

[Katie Capps Parlante]

Notes from this meeting are here:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/CollectionsMeeting20060213

High level summary:
+ We agreed on 0.7 requirements for collections and notifications, based 
on what we learned in 0.6
+ We agreed on a strategy for notifications: the repository will provide 
synchronous notifications to the application and the application will be 
responsible for solving a set of problems at that layer.
(I will write up both proposals in more detail, probably on Wednesday)

+ We didn't finish and agreed to meet again at 2:15 today -- same room. 
(No open design meeting today, so we're taking that slot).

Proposed Agenda
+ Review Agenda (5)
+ John explains sidebar design/implementation (15)
+ Sidebar scalability (15)
+ Putting collections and notifications in the right layer (10)
    * Getting rid of Collection's .setup() call and moving that code to 
__init__() if possible
    * color
    * attributes that don't belong on AbstractCollection
    * InclusionExclusionCollection/IndexedSelectedCollection above the line
    * Indexing api leaking into application code

+ Discussion about work to be done in 0.7 (15 min)
    * Agree on owners/drivers

Cheers,
Katie
