The optional password approach might work really well (at least from a workflow perspective), especially if it was bundled in the URLs that get copied to the clipboard. I believe pbwiki has something similar to this and it's worked well for me in the past (where I was a casual sharee not interested in creating an account).
there's no difference between a url containing a ticket and a url containing a ticket and a password. they are redundant. if you're okay with letting people enter a password when accessing a calendar in scooby, then why not just have them enter the ticket? keep the ticket out of the url altogether. 1) sharer sends notification including the calendar url http://cosmo-demo/home/bcm/Calendar/ and the ticket 0xdeadbeef 2) sharee clicks the link and receives a page that says: "if you have an account, enter username and password to log in. if not, enter the ticket you received in the sharing notification." remember me can be done with the ticket just as easily with the username and password. i still fail to see how it's so much more usable for a user to enter a calendar-specific password than it is for a user to enter one username and password to be logged into the entire server. especially with some of the ideas that were tossed around yesterday about automatic account creation, and with remember me functionality which has rightly been brought up. mimi, i haven't seen any thoughts from you about any of the suggestions jeremy and i made yesterday afternoon. can we get some more discussion going about those things? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
