Elaborating on the PyCon case:
- Starting in week-at-a-glance view, I import the PyCon calendar. The
calendar is so full that I want to see the events just for 'today'.
- I'm at the conference from Friday - Sunday, and want to see the full
schedule of events just for those days.
More cases:
- I know that I'm visiting my cousin in Sacramento in March. Today is
sometime mid Feb. I can't remember which weekend, I want to scan the
month of March to find which one.
- I'm writing my progress/plans for the last two weeks, and look at my
calendar to see what meetings I attended over the last two weeks.
- From the dev list last month:
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/dev/2006-February/005089.html
(Involves scanning end of this week beginning of next week to find
initial time, then moving the time from end of this week to beginning of
next week).
Cheers,
Katie

I get a wedding invitation for the 1st weekend in September of 2008! I
need to RSVP by June of 2007.
I need to find my meeting notes from a staff meeting about a month ago.
Katie wants to figure out which PYCON events she wants to go to.

Here are a couple of examples that require navigating betweens weeks
and may require moving events between weeks.
1. 'Postpone'. The user is scheduled to interview a job candidate. The
candidate calls in on the interview day on Friday and needs to
reschedule to the next week.
Task: Move event across weeks, from first week to the next. (or even
across months, ie. Feb. 25th to March 4th. 2006)
2. 'Extended Stay'. You are planning mini-break in Sonoma that last
from Friday to Tuesday.
Task: Create single events that span from the end of one week to the
beginning of the next.
3. 'Project plan/Context'. You're finishing kitchen renovations and
you have schedule a set of sub-contractors. The last two contractors
are floor re-finishers and appliance movers. the appliance movers are
scheduled to come in after the floor is done. The floor re-finishers
will take four days to finish the job. The day before they start, they
call to delay for two days. You need to reschedule the appliance movers.
Task: You need to rearrange a set of multi-day events.

We're trying to pin down Navigation use cases and explore different
solutions as possible future directions for Scooby (as well as
Chandler) in parallel with more rigorous long-term and mid-term
planning efforts.
*Please send your example of a navigation use case to the design
list. It can be using either Scooby or Chandler.*
Here is an example of a navigation use case:
+ Jane is looking at her week at a glance in her calendar. She is
about to place an event in the evening but realizes it would be
better to schedule for next week.
Does she:
A. Click on the arrow at the top of the calendar to change the week.
B. Drag the event to the right and expect the week at a glance to
move to the following week.
C. She randomly types in the event on the calendar, then cuts and
paste the event to the correct date.
D. She randomly types in the event on the calendar, then makes
changes in the event detail.
F. Let's come up with some more use cases...
*Proposed Agenda:*
(10 mins) Identity the use cases. Examples of people using a calendar.
(10 mins) Grouping and prioritize the use cases. Frequency of use. Is
it only for certain types of users or for all users?
(30 mins) Brainstorm and sketch out different navigation solutions
for each example. Listing out pros and cons.
(10 mins) Review difficulty in implementation both on the web and in
Chandler.
( 5 mins) Next actions.
**Please send your responses to the design list so responses are not
copied on both lists. Thank you!**
