This is a last call for any comments on changing the icons for the Communications (formerly known as Mail) Kind and the Calendar Kind. This will in the short-term affect the Mark-up bar and Summary Table view. In the long-term, the App bar and Sidebar will change as well. The Communications stamp allows the user to "Address items", scenarios include: + Prepare an item to be sent out to 1 or more people + Annotate an item as to who the item came from (e.g. Joseph asked me to look into this) + In the short-term, the fields that users will have available to them include: From, To, CC and BCC + In the long-term, we may have richer semantics: Owner, Designate, Requester, Assigned to, etc... + The Communications stamp will most likely be the same as the icon for the "Who" Attribute type and any Sidebar Collections based on the "Who" Attribute. I can explain more if anyone has any questions about this. The Calendar stamp allows users to add Date/Time metadata to an item such that it shows up on the calendar: + In the short-term, the Calendar stamp will offer start date, start time, end date, end time and an all-day checkbox + In the long-term, we may have richer semantics: Due dates, Milestone dates, Birthdates, Anniversary dates, Holidays, PTO days, etc.   Mimi :o) |
