Hi Sheila,

At a high level, the phases sound great to me.  A few lower level
questions and clarifications below:

> *+ Phase #1*
> 
> *-> Goals*
[...]
> *-> Free-busy*
> - use the existing publish and subscribe workflows to publish and
> subscribe to free-busy information
> - upon publishing, a 3rd url will be returned for the free-busy info
> (fake free-busy not using CALDA reports - just calculated using the
> published calendar)

Just to be clear, I don't this is really "fake", we'll still be using
standard iCalendar components, it just means:
A) Chandler does all the publishing work instead of leaning on CalDAV,
B) non-Chandler clients probably won't update the freebusy (which is
   fine)
C) We'll need to pick an arbitrary date range to publish freebusy for,
   that is, at sync time we'll modify the freebusy resource to apply
   to something like from now to 1 year in the future

> - free-busy shares are read only

I'm not entirely clear what this means.  Presumably any Chandler client
that has a read/write ticket to the main calendar data should also
update the freebusy file when it makes a change to the main calendar data?

This suggests to me that this requirement is asking Cosmo to give us two
read-only tickets, one for calendar data, one for freebusy, but only one
read-write ticket that applies to both of these.  I don't know if Cosmo
supports that (Brian?).

Would it be acceptable, for phase 1, to have a read-only ticket that
actually gives you full read-only access to all the share's data (a tiny
munging of the URL would allow you to see all events, not just free-busy)?
