| As a continuation of our DesktopWebWorkflows Design Session, Priscilla has asked me send out a design proposal for how the mailto-link feature will work in Scooby 0.3... * http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-June/004841.html * http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/DesktopWebWorkflows Please respond with any questions / comments. (Screenshots for this workflow will be delivered as a part of the 0.3 visual design deliverables) GAINING ACCESS TO THE SHARE 1. Casual Collaborator (CC) receives a read-write URL ticket to share the Office calendar via email. 2. CC needs to add vacation PTO to the Office calendar. 3. CC looks for the email with the read-write URL ticket and clicks on it. ADDING INFORMATION TO THE SHARE 4. Shared Office calendar launches in their default web browser. 5. CC clicks away from Scooby to search for an email from spouse which has their exact vacation dates on it 6. CC returns to Scooby and uses the Jump-to date field to Jump-to the vacation start date, which is 4 weeks away 7. CC d-clicks in the all-day area of the calendar canvas to create an all-day event and drags on the end of it to turn it into a multi-day, all-day event. 8. CC types a little note in the Notes field of the event: Off to France with family. SENDING 9. CC clicks on an 'Email this' link to send a notification 10. CC's default mail client is launched (if it's not open already) and a new message is automatically created: Subject line = Event title Body = Date/time information PLUS text from the Notes field of the event. Date/time information includes: * Start date/time * End date/time * Timezones * Recurrence rules * Recurrence end date 11. CC enters email address(es) of people to notify. 12. Sharees receive the notification in their email clients. QUESTION 13. Nice-to-have: It would be great if Sharees who are Desktop users could receive Scooby notifications in the Desktop client as well. I've already asked about inserting special Ecosystem Headers into the email (which is not possible to do) that the Desktop client could look for when selectively pulling down email. However, I wonder if we could insert something into the Body of the email that the Desktop could look for. This would complete the workflow and allow Chandler users to receive Scooby communications in the client. Thanks, Mimi |
