So I think there are actually 2 separate issues here for which I will
spawn 2 separate threads.
1) If a Chandler desktop client user deletes their repository and
runs Chandler again, they would like to have a way to reconstruct
their sharing world to what it what previously. What should be the
user experience for this? I will post a new thread and send to the
design list.
2) For Chandler web client users, what shares do you actually see
when you log into Scooby - and how does Scooby get that information?
I believe Morgen has a number of questions around this specifically.
I will post this thread to the Scooby list.
In the context of these 2 different problems, users may have
published and subscribed to shares on different servers. My feeling
is that in the beta timeframe 90% of the use cases will involve
people using our hosted service running Cosmo. In some cases people
will be using multiple servers but it won't be as common. I think we
should keep this in context as we explore ideas/solutions to the
above 2 issues.

Ideally, whatever data you see in Chandler, you can also see in
Scooby. But in the Beta timeframe, it's reasonable to tell users
that we can't support 3rd party calendar subscriptions like .Mac or
Google Calendar in Scooby.
Back of my personal settings would be a definite PLUS. I will add
that to the list of open design issues PPD is tracking.

I have some questions for the design and scooby teams about this
spec:

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
