I can see a scenario where we can have strict access controls on Cosmo, and not only continue to have existing sharing functionality but some additional cool stuff. Unfortunately I think this'll take quite a bit of work, and I'm worried that the interim state would be an unacceptable loss of functionality for clients.
Yup, understood. Being able to edit read-only items locally in the desktop (and the step further, being able to share these annotations) looks like a non trivial feature which would require a real investment. Realistically, we might not get to this any time soon, even if it is a cool feature to have.
Here's the (I think common) recipe I'm worried will break if we go with items-are-unique-per-Cosmo-instance. 1. Mimi shares an event to osaf.us, then she emails it to Morgen 2. Morgen puts the event in a collection he's sharing on osaf.us 3. Morgen attempts to sync the collection and it fails unexpectedly
Agreed that we don't want this to break. Sounds like Brian doesn't think this will be a problem.
Anyway, I'm not weighing in on a particular solution, just wanted to clarify requirements. Sounds like we are on the same page.
