*Removing old checkpoints from server*
Bear explained that he's removing Chandler checkpoints older than
0.7alpha3, to free up space. He's not removing Milestones, RC candidates
or other unique distributions.

*Helo ip address, goodbye FQDN*
Reid ran into functional test failures on a clean checkout. Jared
pointed out earlier instructions for configuring the os for the proper
fully-qualified domain name. Reid followed these instructions and that
fixed the problem. He asked if TestNewMail should explain this failure mode.

Grant suggested sending the IP address instead of the hostname in SMTP
EHLO/HELO, avoiding relying on the user's OS to be configured correctly.

Brian Kirsch agreed this was a good suggestion and implemented it.

*Mail bugs, dogfood feedback*
Andre Mueninghoff mentioned a mail test failure he was seeing, "Index
out of range" dialog boxes since r12591. Brian Kirsch asked for a bug.
Andre explained that he's running the tip of the trunk (updating daily
and using the restore settings feature to pull data from Cosmo). He's
hesitating to log email bugs knowing calendaring and other features have
been the focus. Andre recommended a dogfooding list, where people can
talk about bugs so that more useful bugs are created in Bugzilla.

Andre passed on more information about his "Index out of range" error
(which he gets whenever he syncs email). He noticed an interesting log
message when he quits Chandler; the log message indicates the
displayDate subindex off of an IndexSelectionCollection is not being
sorted properly. He doesn't see the log output when he's not using
email. He is now using his account for private correspondance, so cannot
send out his account info. Brian Kirsch is stuck on this bug until we
can reproduce it. No bug is logged yet.

*TestRecurringEvent failure*
Reid ran into test failures on a clean checkout on windows xp. Bryan
didn't know why Reid was seeing this, but pointed at the interesting
bits in Reid's log -- assertion errors in detail.py's SetAttributeValue.
Bryan explained that you'll only see assert statments without the -O
flag, which is why Reid doesn't always see the failures. Bryan noticed
that the error occurs where the recurrence "ends" text ctrl has focus
and has changed. It is trying to write the value back, but the item it
is writing to is not recurring, and throws an assertion error. Bryan
suggested stepping through the test in Wing to figure out how it gets to
this situation.

*Tool for ics file diffs*
Jeffrey wrote a script to diff ics files. Features:
- ignores timezones (2PM PST and 5PM EST look the same)
- only looks at VEVENTs and VTODOs
- treats UID/RECURRENCE-ID/SEQUENCE triple as being a unique event
- considers order of parameters and content within a component to be
significant
- always outputs a UID, but otherwise only outputs bits that are
different between similar events
- pretty-printing, not original ics
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2006-December/007432.html
Jeffrey resent the script, updated to fix a few problems. Dan thought
the script sounded useful, but was unsuccessful trying to use it. He
asked for example usage.
