I have some questions for the design and scooby teams about this spec:
http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/rel0_7/ Sharing-0.7.html
About the section on "(Re-)Storing a user's sharing world via Cosmo": What do we need to do to support Scooby so that it can view calendars we have subscribed to (but not published)? Say that I have subscribed my Chandler to a remote .ics URL (like .Mac or Google Calendar)? Do I need my Chandler to turn around and upload that calendar to Cosmo (and keep it in sync) in order for Scooby to see it or is giving Scooby the calendar's remote .ics URL sufficient? Also, I'm doing some handwaving when I use the term 'giving', because I don't know how to let Scooby know about such a URL.
Also, I was thinking it might be handy to have a "back up my personal settings" feature which can export some set of items such as accounts and shares to the local disk. That way, you could 'restore your world' without having to re-enter even your Cosmo account info.
By the way, there is already a way today to create a personal parcel that contains whatever account items you want to have pre-defined when you launch Chandler from an empty repository. See http:// wiki.osafoundation.org/twiki/bin/view/Projects/ParcelLoading
