Hi Priscilla,
Here's my feedback on the spec -- my apologies for the long wait
In the section: "Scooby/Cosmo Merge -> Requirements" - most of these
are implementation tasks, not really requirements, so we can probably
just delete them. The one thing that I think ought to be in the
section on the merge is a description of what the merged UI should
look/work like
In the section: "Hibernate Integration" - the goals should include:
- address scalability issues with Jackrabbit by using a
relational database
- address backup/restore features by leveraging relational
database's dump/restore tools
In the diagram for "Anonymous Access"
- At the bottom of the box labelled "Cosmo UI", workflows A and
C end with "Click on notification link. Desktop e-mail launches".
Is the UI just left at the current page?
- in the UI Details section, it would help the readability to
have the graphics inline as opposed to linked to a separate file
In the section "Notification -> Requirements" - there is no screen
design, which should be there when we implement this -- this is less
urgent because this feature is moving to 0.6
- also there is a key requirement missing, which is that the user
needs to be able to review the mail/notification that is sent, which
is possible with an external e-mail client, but is not possible with
a server-based mail/notification form, because the user may have been
anonymous
In the "Managing Time-zone" section there are no screen mockups
In the "Managing Events -> Requirements" section, I found the big
table to be confusing and had hard time associating its contents with
the dialog box. I think that a visual of the dialog box that was
tied to the table would help in this case.
In the section "Managing Events -> Terminology" , the last paragraph
sets out what I would call the tenets for the 0.5 release (at least
until we changed them). I'd like to see the tenets for a release
stated at the beginning of the spec for that release
Is the "Code Design" intended to be the location for technical specs
for the various features outline in this spec?
I'd remove all the stuff in the "Cuts" section.

I've updated the spec to reflect the features for Cosmo 0.5.

zeroDot5.html
The following have been updated:
+ Flowchart for the user to view (After today’s URL discussion, I
need to revise again.)
+ Added Scooby/Cosmo merge information
+ Added integration of Hibernate information
+ Moved all features which are deferred to future release to the
'Out' section
Feedback is encouraged. We can always schedule another spec review
if anyone has any questions.
Thanks, -Priscilla_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
