Hi Priss,
Thx for writing this up.
Just to clarify: This is a post-Preview proposal.
Question: Is this for Users who wish to Publish to Chandler Server?
In which case, I think the first workflow applies to Chandler Hub
users as well.
Do we want to have the Publish instructions available from within the
Logged-in UI? Do we want to always introduce users to the web app UI?
and then from there they can choose between Subscribe with: and
Publish to:?
Some other open issues:
+ Will Chandler Server / Hub support publishing to other servers from
the Chandler Server web app? If we do that means we have 4 options:
- Subscribe with Chandler Server / Hub
- Subscribe to stuff on Chandler Server / Hub with some other app
- Publish with Chandler Server / Hub
- Publish to Chandler Server / Hub with some other app
We will want to understand what the use cases are around the
additional scenarios and drive the product definition from there?

*Use Case One: Users who have downloaded the OSAF bundle*
1. User signs up for an account, clicks [okay].
2. If e-mail verification is *turned off* from person using the
OSAF bundle Instructional message appears: Start using Chandler
Server or Set up on an external application to use this account.
3. If user select Start using Chandler Server --> auto log into
Chandler (Hub) Web Application from the OSAF Bundle
4. If user selects: Set up on an external application
5. Dynamic drop down list appears:
[ Which application? | V ]
* Chandler Desktop
* Apple iCal 2.x
* Feed reader
* Other…
This will behave similar to the collection details dialog box. The
instructions and URLs will appear dynamically on the create an
account dialog. A [close] button will also appear in this dialog box.
----
*Use Case Three: Users who have downloaded the OSAF bundle*
1. If e-mail verification is *turned on*, message on dialog
displays: 'Almost done! Your account is created but not enabled.
You will receive an e-mail shortly with a link to enable your
account.' [Close]
2. User checks e-mail, clicks on the link to verify account
3. Auto log in to Chandler (Hub) Web Client.
4. User selects external client from the 'Subscribe with…' drop
down list.
*Use Case Two: Users who have sign up on Chandler Hub (same as above)*
1. If e-mail verification is *turned on*, message on dialog
displays: 'Almost done! Your account is created but not enabled.
You will receive an e-mail shortly with a link to enable your
account.' [Close]
2. User checks e-mail, clicks on the link to verify account
3. Auto log in to Hub.
4. User selects external client from the 'Subscribe with…' drop
down list.
*Note:* In all cases the table information about 'setting up a
sharing account in an external client' will not appear after
signing up for an account with Server.
---
*Questions:*
+ Is there a possibility to create a different message for users
who are signing up for an account on Hub vs. OSAF Bundle? (For a
future release, but probably not for preview?)
+ Is it possible once the user verifies their e-mail they can be
logged into the Hub account automatically?
This way users who want to sign up for a Chandler Hub account, but
for other calendar clients, it would be a one click to verify e-
mail and 'Subscribe with…' drop down list then select the
appropriate calendar client.

and chandler that product naming, I will, in time, aspire to be
better at sending these emails out to be less formal/confusing.)
