Hi Mimi
Thanks for the feedback on this, really interesting stuff.
+ Can we rename the links to the tickets? [Chandler] [DAV] [ Feeds] ?
Interestingly, I already have a bug to change this link.
Unfortunately, it's asking for yet another name:
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8060
Any thoughts? The "Magic URL" is, by definition, overloaded, so it
makes sense that we're having trouble giving it a name. I think the
best thing to do would be to name the link in accordance with our
expectations for the "primary user" of the account browser and to
give it a "tooltip" that describes all the various functions it
serves.
1. The bug asks for reasonable labels given that the account browser
is the only way to get a bookmarkable url. Even when Chandler can
supply bookmarkable urls, people who only use the Cosmo UI will need
a way to generate a bookmarkable url to hand around
2. The term "Magic URL" should be expunged from everyone's vocabulary
and replaced with "bookmarkable url"
3. I see no reason that the links couldn't be [Chandler][Bookmarkable
URL][DAV][Feeds] - I don't think the duplication is that bad, and
hiding alternate usages in a tooltip is just going to result in
support queries. Alternately, I'd be satisifed with a bookmarkable
URL option in the collection details dialog.
Bookmarkable URL's are *really* handy. I don't even bother to go to
the main osaf.us page anymore, I just jump to r/w bookmarkable url
for my work calendar.
So the questions are:
1) Who is the primary user of the account browser? and based on
that: What should the link text be?
2) What all should go in the tooltip?
Thanks!
