Jeffrey, I think I need your help in answering some of these
questions...

After talking a bit with Jeffrey, I understand his write-up a bit
better and think it might be a good interim plan for Preview. But
of course, ultimately, this, like the original proposal requires
Bryan input and evaluation.
Let me see if I can re-summarize what Jeffrey said to make sure I
have it right.
When importing an .ics file or subscribing to a collection...
This is whenever new items arrive via the sharing mechanism -- so
not just subscribing: any newly-received item gets autotriaged --
if (as you say) we're not sharing triage status.
I believe Jeffrey's proposal was to only do this as a one-time thing.
Import, which is inherently one-time. And the 1st time you download a
whole lotta items from a subscribe.
+ Auto-triage items into the DONE and LATER sections in the order
of the Date that appears in the Date column for any given item.
For example:
- Yesterday's event is auto-triaged to DONE before This morning's
event.
- Tomorrow's event is auto-triaged to LATER before Tonight's event.
(I thought we were talking only about DONE, but doing it for LATER
too isn't worse.)
Yes. The rationale is that if we can't do the whole enchilada for the
LATER section, doing this is the next best option.
Note: Items are not auto-triaged if triage status is shared.
Nice-to-have Addendum to Date column behavior: Event start date
wins over Custom alarm dates in the DONE section *only*.
But still...
+ After the initial import / subscribe, items will be order in the
DONE and LATER sections in the order in which they were triaged to
DONE and LATER, NOT in accordance to the Date that appears in the
Date column for any given item.
I'm not sure what this means: you're proposing changing the
behavior of autotriage when the result is DONE, but you only want
that to happen differently in the sharing/import cases, and not
when the user manually changes triage to Done?
No, I'm differentiating between one-time big influx of new data from
subsequent, incremental additions, either by the user themselves or
via sharing. Jeffrey?
