Keith Windsor made a request for a a way to dynamically re-adjust the
recurrence rule for recurring tasks. 'This is ideal for those things
that have to be done at regular intervals, but that can slip for a
day or two: Give cat worm tablet, check car tyre pressures, do
monthly review, etc, where, having slipped, you don't want to go back
to the original schedule.' Andre chimed in with additional use cases:
Hair cut, oil change.

Greg Noel wrote in, in support of a more flexible multi-week view (as
opposed to a fixed month view). That is indeed the direction we're
headed in, but won't be in the first iteration of month view we
implement.

I forwarded a thread from the internal PR list about a feature
request for duplicating events.

before I leave for vacation this Saturday.
DESIGN ISSUES
- Sharing between Desktop and Hub Issues
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-September/
007672.html
I pulled together a summary for the 'Rationalizing various sharing
URLs between Hub and Desktop' issue. This discussion is currently on
the back-burner as there are more critical sharing issues to work on
in the near-term. I plan to bring this up again after 0.7.2.
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007684.html
Morgen started a thread to explore options for keeping subscriptions
in sync between the Desktop and Hub. Some issues that have come up
are being tracked in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/
show_bug.cgi?id=10983
+ What do we do with subscriptions that Hub supports but Desktop
doesn't and vice versa?
+ What if the Desktop user subscribes without an account and then at
a later date signs up for an account?
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007687.html
I started a thread for 'Keeping published collections in sync between
Desktop and Hub'. I wasn't sure if the Desktop would suck down the
default Hub collection that's created when users sign up for a Hub
account.
Next action: Morgen There's still an open issue about who creates the
tickets for this collection: Hub or Desktop?

I sent a proposal for incorporating a Date Picker in the Hub Detail
View. mde followed up with some questions.
Next Action: Bobby to reply to mde's questions...
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007703.html
I sent out some mock-ups for overlays in Hub.
+ mde responded with some questions/issues which led us to filing a
bug for keeping the collection name in sync between Desktop and Hub:
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11010
+ Jeffrey forwarded a related thread on this issue from the Cosmo-Dev
list: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/

http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007736.html
mde responded to my call for Open Design Issues with a question about
how to phrase the recurrence edit dialogs on Hub.
- Dashboard
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007685.html
I wrote-up a summary of design issues related to the Who column and
the Addressing stamp.
This spawned a number of related threads:
+ The summary above included a proposal to only display 'edited/
update by' temporarily in the Who column for unread items if the item
in question was a message and had fr/to attributes. This led to the
proposal that we should do the same for 'date last modified' and
display that temporarily in the Date column for unread event items or
items with upcoming tickler dates. In writing up the bug however, I
came across a few issues with this proposal: http://
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007692.html
+ Jeffrey started a thread to further explore options for making the
'Addressing stamp' more useful for assigning tasks, etc: http://
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007706.html
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-October/007738.html
I forwarded a thread from the Users list about sorting in the Triage
Status column. In particular, how to reconcile explicit ordering with
auto-ordering based on the Date column.
BUGS
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-September/
007674.html
I reported seeing some false-positive sharing conflicts due to email
updates and sharing getting out of sync with each other. We have a
partial solution to this problem, which won't get rid of the false-
positives entirely. But assuming users are syncing regularly, false-
positives should at least go away once users sync both email and shares.

As a short-term resolution to the still open issue of 'Which inbound
changes should be considered/ignored for marking an item unread or
moving to the NOW section', I asked Morgen if we could fix the errant
'from' attribute that's causing message items to pop into NOW for
seemingly no reason.
I started a thread to try and pin down the handful of 'serious
screwing up my data' bugs that still remain.
