Tuesday, Sept 26th from 2:30-4PM in Whoville.

Tomorrow, PPD, Brian K and Philippe we will be reviewing the 1.0 Email Plan proposal put forth by PPD in May:

Address design/implementation issues that need to be resolved for Preview:
+ [Bug 5988] Shared events stamped as email introduce an 'Out' collection: http://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5988

We will also work through a few brainstorming exercises to explore:

1. Usage scenarios for Email: What do people use
+ Chitchat (joke forwards, casual personal meeting scheduling, what's up emails)
+ Organizing a medium to large-scale event
+ Personal task management
+ Shared task management (home versus work)
+ Documentation
+ Archive
+ 1:1 conversation
+ Moderated group conversation

2. What features do we need to support these usage scenarios?
+ IMAP sync
+ Threading
+ Better account setup and management UI
+ SPAM
+ Better message composition experience
+ HTML editing/viewing
+ Better support for shared email

What else?

3. What is our best guess at how we should prioritize these usage scenarios, given our 1.0 target user group and goals.

4. How does Email function within the constellation of communication technologies we foresee supporting in the future: sharing, IM, SMS, VoIP, etc.

In particular, what is the relationship between Email and Sharing?
+ Email as a way to notify sharees of edits and updates to shared communications.
+ The concept of Spheres and Perspectives in shared communications. Can I look at your Inbox from your perspective? versus my perspective? versus a group perspective?
