It's tough to make decisions with tight timelines.  I want to support
the Cosmo team in experimenting with a detail view that's a good fit for
the web.  I definitely don't think the web side needs to slavishly
follow the desktop UI.

I think it's helpful for users who are new to Chandler to have explicit
text next to stamping icons, rather than just tooltips.  Similarly,
having Now/Later/Done expanded really helps with the sense of what the
triage widget is for.  I think there's a trade-off between the extra
space this expansion requires and helping new users, it may well be that
for the web UI expanding the text is the right way to go with this
trade-off.

I'm worried, though, that part of the stamping concept that I really
like might be lost.  In the "traditional" UI, all the stamps are always
visible in a central location, so at a glance I can find out what
semantics I've associated with the current item.  With this accordion
rendering of stamps, the sense of what your stamping options are is
dramatically improved, but which stamps are chosen is harder to
coalesce.  On small screens some stamps may even be out of view.

>From my perspective this design would really benefit from more than a
day of broad group iteration.  I don't like getting in the way of
momentum around good ideas, but I think given the way this is framed
(lets decide today), I'm saying -1.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
