huh? a subscribe dropdown in the collection details dialog? where'd
that come from?
This is because you had proposed displaying more URLs:

usually call the web url).
Originally 0.6 is really to just support Chandler, iCal and feed
readers. The other applications were not slated for 0.6. And on the
design end we may need to think about this more on how to deal with
all the different subscriptions. Although it is easy just to add in
another URL on the development end, there is going to be work on how
to display this so it is understandable to the user.
every mockup i've seen shows a list of urls.
That is correct, there is no mock up that show the drop down in the
collection details. I have only reviewed this with Bobby, Ted and Mimi.
the number of different applications in this menu is starting to look
silly. and what about apps that support both webcal and caldav
(sunbird, evolution, ical in 2007)?
I agree it is looking silly, but this is how we're looking to deal
with multiple subscriptions for now in 0.6. Or we could *not* deal
with the additional subscriptions and primarily focus on Chandler,
iCal and Feed, which is the original proposal for 0.6.
* Note:*
+ some of the URLs will be the same.
+ once selecting the application there would be some brief
instructions on
what to do and the application version it supports, etc.
+ For 0.6, I don't think there is a need to complicate iCal and
post both
URLs, but post 0.6, would add 2 URLs under 'iCal' selection in the
dialog?
Or Have to a separate iCal for Leopard in the drop down menu? We
can address
issue for the next release.
well if we're going to wait and address something for the next
release, why don't we wait on the explicit listing of applications?
why not just put in webcal and caldav for now?
I don't believe users besides people who work in the calendaring
software would understand the difference between webcal and caldav.
It's going to be confusing enough to say if you are running iCal on
Leopard, go here, if you are running an older version of iCal go
here. Most people, including myself would just be confused if you use
those terms.
Just to be clear on what you're proposing. You would like to see on
the pull down on the top right:
| Subscribe with… | V |
webcal
caldav
feed reader
download calendar/tasks
And in the collection details dialog, it will list all four of these
options (URLs) down. Is that correct?
