Hi, Mimi
The proposed behaviour makes sense to me. I can't speak Mr Stearns,
but it looks to me as if this would be a case of "more of the same".
In Scenario 2, are you saying that events automatically have their
(colour) triage status changed to DONE once they're over?
ya

We've been struggling for a long, long, long time with not having
a robust way to reflect the differences between:
+ Focus status (e.g. Have I seen this item? Have I processed this
item? Have I put it away in the right places?); and
+ The actual status of an item.
This dilemma of course, usually presents itself when sketching out
Sharing use cases:
+ Ivan the Individual Contributor shares his persona task list
with Helen the Hub.
+ Ivan has been struggling with a Task for months. It's been
cycling between NOW and LATER with no end in sight. Ivan finally
finishes the Task and with an enormous sense of satisfaction,
marks the Task as D-O-N-E.
+ On such a momentous occasion, Ivan decides he must send out an
UPDATE about his accomplishment to Helen and clicks the Update
button in the Toolbar.
+ Helen 'receives' the Update and in her Chandler, Ivan's task
jumps to the top of the NOW section in the Dashboard view of
Ivan's personal task list collection.
+ IF we don't special-case Ivan's Update, the Task would be
automatically marked as Triage status = NOW, which would undermine
Ivan and confuse Helen.
+ I think what we actually want to happen is to keep the Triage
status = DONE;
while still plopping the Task to the top of Helen's NOW section.
