Hey Priscilla,

I am catching up on some old threads and just wanted to clarify what you are asking.

1) Are you looking for comments on developer difficulty for each of the proposed visual solutions for showing information that has been edited ie: red text vs strike through etc.

OR

2) Are you looking for feedback on what people think they would like to see if we did something like this ie: user feedback on the ideas.

I assume we are talking about #1 and you are asking about what is possible from a dev perspective. I suspect that the harder piece would be actually storing what used to be there rather than whether or not we display this in red. Now if I edit an item, whatever was in the time field before I changed it from 1:00pm to 2:00pm is basically gone. I might be wrong at that. We weren't going to handle versions for Preview but might for 1.0.

Cheers,
Sheila

A while back Sheila presented the Stamping Storyboards. On one of the slides (See enclosed screenshot), the mock up shows revisions in 'red' from someone who is collaborating with the person using Chandler. From what I was told, currently edits displayed in 'red' was not going to be possible for an upcoming release.

My question is: What is the minimal amount of visual cue (if not color coded) is possible for the short term to show that someone has made an edit to a shared item?

Here are some examples based on methods used in e-mail:

Example 1:
Dinner @ 7PM at Café Floré
> Let's do dinner at 8PM in case I am late. 
>> 8PM sounds great!

Sometimes edits are shown with a strike-through. 

Example 2:
Dinner @ 7PM 8PM at Café Floré

I've also seen a horizontal line drawn on the far left and right of edits. Please see enclosed example with the blue and red horizontal lines.

Or even just adding the text above the edits as in the enclosed screenshot, "Priscilla Chung wrote:", "On Sep 7, 2006, at 1:32PM, Dan Steinicke wrote:" So it would look something like this:
