Philippe,
Thanks for the ideas. Activity viewer isn't really a good name since
we are also thinking about some of the things you have mentioned as
well. We expect to have some beginnings of this when we have
background sync working. Once we have something up and running, I
will write up a more detailed spec we can perhaps phase over a couple
of milestones.

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
