Morgen and I would like to propose punting the 'Never share' feature to Future. At this point, Morgen still needs to do extra work to model the lock feature in EIM (see fwd'ed thread below) and I'm not sure it's worth the trouble for Preview.

Has anyone used this feature while dogfooding? Can we easily remove the icon from the mark-up bar? Reid?

I am all for punting it for now if you don't think it's important. Any little feature like this just adds to the complexity of things.

Lock means 'Never share'. Which is fine if you lock it before you share the item. But what happens if you lock it after the fact?

Do we remove it from the server? What if you weren't the person to put it up there? I think we just stop syncing changes on that item, inbound or outbound, including deletes and removals by other people who have the item.

Does that sound reasonable?

So I recently realized that I hadn't implemented anything related to the "lock" icon in EIM based sharing. But when I sat down to work on it tonight, I wasn't actually sure what it should do.

Does that lock mean inbound changes are not applied to the item?

Does it mean no local changes for the item are sent to the server?

If someone removes that item from the collection on the server, does that affect what collections the "locked" item is in in your Chandler?

Thanks,
