I have attempted to pull together a summary of the many responses to
my original Dogfood feedback email. I hope I have capture all the
various issues, solutions and explanations below. Please review. In
the mean time, Priss and I are planning to sit down to review these
issues so we can do a design SWAG. Ultimately, I would like to get
these suggestions into bugzilla so the bug council can have their way
with them.
Thx!

+ Not immediately clear that the Name=Cosmo, Type=Calendar was
where my stuff was supposed to be, since he had lots of Notes and
Tasks as well.
+ I would imagine though that for a Casual Collaborator who only
sees Calendar data, Calendar would make more sense, than PIM.
+ (Actually, his stuff was in Name=freebusy, Type=Folder) Why is
freebusy a Folder? and not a Calendar? (That was rhetorical, just
in case ;o)
This is an a4 specific bug that will go away for Preview.
+ Not sure what it means to have Tickets on the <USERNAME> page.
Maybe this page lists all of the tickets for all of the collections?
Suggestion:
+ In the future, we could re-design the grant a ticket functionality
so that the table for tickets doesn't appear until you 'grant a ticket.'

+ All 3 Collections he had were of Type=Calendar
The Type column is a legacy of DAV.
+ Dav users need to be able to tell if a collection can be used as a
CaldAV calendar collection or a CardDAV addressbook collection.
Suggestion:
+ In the near-term, could we label the column DAV Type? and rename
the Name column: Collection Name.
+ In the near-term, we can also make sure we distinguish between
Collections versus Items.
+ In the future, we can consider adding a column to display the kind
of each item: Note, Message, Task, Event, etc. bcm, what's the use
case for this? What is the Admin or Chandler Server user doing when
inspecting this kind of information?
+ When 'browsing' one of the Collections, it appeared that there
were only 3 items...until I noticed that one was a Type=Folder
called .chandler.
Going away with new sharing framework.
+ Again, not sure whata it means to have Tickets on the freebusy
page. But starting to get a clue ;o)
https://osaf.us/cosmo/browse/<USERNAME>/freebusy/<COLLECTION NAME>
+ Okay need to get tickets. How do I construct a ticket? Which one
works for Chandler Hub? Chandler Desktop? (I understand this is
temporary? Eventually the [pim] ticket will work for Chandler
Desktop as well?
+ For now, [pim] doesn't work for Chandler Desktop, is that
correct? I copied the Id and appended it to the end of the URL in
the address bar. (Which turns out is wrong, because I was in /
browse/ rather than /home/. :o)
Proposal is: [Chandler] [DAV] [Feeds] Logged as: https://
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8060
I'm assuming here that [Chandler] would cover both Chandler Desktop
and Chandler Hub. I don't think we need to have separate links for
each one?
The bookmarkable Chandler URL is not available from the Collection
Details Dialog, although the DAV and Feeds URLs are.
Questions:
1. What are the reasons for *not*making the ticket-URLs in the
Collection Details Dialog? When would you want to hand out non-
ticket URLs versus the ticket URLs?
Suggestions:
What if users only gave out ticket-URLs? Then, if the user is already:
+ Logged into their Chandler Hub / Chandler Server account; and
+ Subscribed to the collection in question; then
+ We just log them in; otherwise
+ We send them to a 'ticket-view' of the collection.
Also, for Preview, won't users have access to the ticket-[Chandler]
URLs from the Collection Details Dialog because Chandler Desktop will
have switched over to the new sharing format?
Additional suggestion from bcm: Make 'home collection' page look
different from sub-pages.
I think this will require some up-front design work and will be hard
to do in a vacuum (without touching other page templates, etc). I
would recommend punting this to future, Priss?
