I just want to second Esther's request.
One thing I've seen recently when syncing the Office calendar is the
dialog that tells you that "3 events have been updated"... but I've no
way to know which ones... With a background sync, this would be even
more important to know that something has been change. We need a good
notification system, more than just an Activity Viewer. Something that
would work like an RSS client would be great. Some ideas:
- a "toast" that shows up and fade away when something has been changed
with a link in it to jump to the change (Outlook like)
- an "RSS client" like list (activity viewer if you wish) that logs the
changes with links to jump to them
- some modification in the summary view (lozenge for calendar, something
else for the table view) to let you know that an item changed since the
last time you viewed it
Thanks for the feedback Esther :)
Cheers,
- Philippe

Esther,
Since we are introducing background synching (replace the manual sync
you do now) we will have to have some kind of log that people can
scan. You will want to know the last time the calendar was synched and
what changed. Mimi has some great ideas for some kind of activity
viewer and we are working on implementing some of this in 0.7, likely
in stages so we can get some feedback from real users like yourself.

Hi,
It would be really great if we could have some sort of tracking
capability in the calendar. I am working with a couple of calendars
where several people have editing rights and it seems like it would
be nice to have a way to see who has done what to either a particular
appointment or to the calendar in general. Maybe something like in a
wiki, where you can look at earlier versions. Specifically,
sometimes it would be nice to be able to see when an appointment was
entered into the calendar, who has made edits to that appointment,
what they've changed and who deleted an appointment and when.
Thanks!
Esther
