We could also display the alarm info (so the user doesn't think
they've lost it) but grey it out so it looks de-activated.

It's an interesting qusestion. What is more confusing:
1. Not displaying alarm information. (Users might wonder what
happened to they alarm they set on an event.)
2. Displaying alarm information, but not actually triggering an
alarm. (If alarm info is displayed, users might assume that alarms
work in Scooby, and miss some important meeting because they didn't
get an alarm.)
My vote would be not to display alarm info until we actually
implement alarms in Scooby. The repercussions are less annoying --
users would know not to depend on an alarm from Scooby, and when
they seen their event again in Chandler (or whatever calendar app),
they'd see the alarm is still there.

Here are some issues about the alarm feature in Scooby. Please
keep in mind we have decided not to implement a fully functioning
alarm feature for the target user release "dogfood-able" release.
Examples of fully functional alarms:
+ Alarm notification in a pop up box (display/edit)
+ Alarm notification sent to mobile devices (display/edit)
+ Alarm notification sent to an e-mail address (display/edit)
Currently, the target users for Scooby are:
+ Chandler user that wants to use Scooby just as a drive by view
of their calendar
+ Non Chandler user that wants to look at my calendar (read only)
*Feature: Display of Alarms*
*Current Behavior*:
+ Currently there is no UI that exists to display or set alarms.
*Use Cases*:
+ A Chandler User subscribes his Chandler calendar into Scooby.
There are alarms set on his events in Chandler. When viewing his
Chandler calendar in Scooby, the user would like to see all the
information stored in an event that is the same created in
Chandler. Information such as the status and if there is an alarm
set on the event. *Proposal:* + 0.2 is not a usable release. It
does not seem to be necessary to implement the alarm feature for
0.2, including just displaying the alarm in the event details/
lozenge. Development for a fully functioning alarm feature may
commence for future release. Even if it will not be in the target
user's/dog food-able release.
*UI Dependencies:* + None.
*What we need to know: *
+ Is displaying alarms in Scooby created in Chandler useful or
confusing to users?
+ Would not having alarms displayed be confusing to a Chandler
Users who have alarm information stored in their events in Chandler?
