Thanks for the link bear, some interesting things Udell points out
directly apply to Chandler Sharing and Subscribe via Cosmo UI:
+ Google has 2 notions of Publishing. One to share with other Google
users. And then a second to share with people using other clients.
Not that you would figure that out from the options given to you. One
option is 'Share this calendar' (for Google-to-Google sharing). The
second is 'Calendar details' (for Google-to-other-client sharing). In
Cosmo, we potentially suffer from this problem as well, since we have
also decided to put the Publish options in the Collection details
dialog...however, we at least don't have a separate, prominent 'Share
this calendar' option to further confuse the issue...
However, from the Chandler end, publishing to other Chandler/Cosmo
and non-Chandler/Cosmo users will be one in the same, thanks to the
unified URL.
+ Outlook also provides 2 different ways to Publish/Share. 1 within
the Windows Live network. (Although it doesn't say that anywhere in
the description, it's called Office Online instead.) And a second via
WebDAV. What's WebDAV? (We have this option too :o( I wonder if we
could call it 'Sharing Server' instead.)
The irony here is that depending on which of the security options you
choose, there are more barriers to sharing within the network
(subscribers must authenticate with username + password) than it is
to share out of network.
+ Google presents the "Subscribe with other clients" option as a list
of technology options: XML, ICAL, HTML. I use Outlook, which one is
that?

I mention the article for a number of reason:
- It's a neat recipe if you are an Outlook user
- It's probably a great example of the contortions Chandler needs
to avoid ;)
- It's a recipe that should also work in Chandler (both directions)
I cross-posted this to the design list because of the last half of
the article where he talks about the idea of "concept count"
enjoy!
