Given Jeffrey's preliminary feedback, I've done another pass at the
proposal for the 'Notifications' widget. http://chandlerproject.org/
Notes/WebWidgetsMockups#SettingupNotifications
Things I've changed:
+ Changed workflow so that we just give users a link to where they
can install homepage, iphone and desktop widgets
+ Added ability to receive notifications for all collections, instead
of needing to set each one individually
I am waiting for comments from today's meeting to do another pass for
the Item Sharing and Quick Entry widgets.

Hi Mimi,
Workflow
1. Select widget from gallery (see mockup - http://
chandlerproject.org/Notes/WebWidgetsMockups)
2. Login
I'm a little confused, you mean login to the hub, right?
3. Set options:
=====
Add notes to your Chandler Hub account from:
[ ] iGoogle homepage
-------------------------------
[x] Yahoo homepage
User name: [ ]
Password: [ ] Add | Remove
Are you saying you'd like Chandler Hub users to enter their Google
or Yahoo passwords and have our code go and add a widget to their
homepage for them?
I think this would be pretty hard to do, since Google and Yahoo
don't really want people to do this, so they don't provide APIs,
anything we did like this would rely on screenscraping and wouldn't
be very reliable. It's also generally bad form for one service to
ask for another service's password. I realize Facebook does it,
but I don't think it's a good idea for us.
We can, however, provide a link to our widget on these services.
Users might have to manually re-enter their Hub username/password
once they get there, so I realize it's more work, but I think
that's probably the best we can do. Does that seem reasonable?
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
