One observation is we have been noticing these odd cases in case of
shared calendars that are being updated by multiple people and
rendered thru multiple states thru edit/update. Yesterday, I
mentioned to Philippe that I was seeing some odd behaviour with the
QA calendar as well where some of the old PTOs and meetings were
popping into the NOW section. I haven't had a chance to completely
investigate that and figure out if they are basically dups of bugs
you have filed below or different ones. I will look into that shortly.
IOW, I think the scenario that will help nail these cases is getting
more people to use and update shared calendars. I am all for doing a
test session for this but generally speaking I haven't been able to
trigger these cases on demand. I happen to encounter them
occasionally with QA calendar.
One idea is perhaps we could come up with some sharing scenarios what
require edit/update and have multiple people run thru those scenarios
in a single shared calendar during the test session. I can work with
you on coming up with those cases.
In the meantime I will investigate the "popping into NOW" cases in
the QA calendar.

Back in October, I started a thread on the design list re: weird
triage/recurrence/sharing bugs having to do with items being marked
Unread and popping into the NOW section for inexplicable reasons.
I believe we've addressed some of the underlying causes (ie.
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10799: Need a
mechanism to ignore certain EIM fields when determining which items
move to NOW or get marked unread). But I believe there are still
bugs at large.
'Notification' via automatically popping items into the NOW section
is core to the personal information management and collaboration
workflows. What do we need to do to make sure we've addressed this
problem for 1.0 (which is in reality, less than a month away if you
take the holidays into consideration)?
Can we enlist the help of the Users list in some way? Have a
dedicated test session? Ideas?

Below is a screenshot of my Office Calendar collection after 1.5 days.
Entire recurring series keep popping into NOW but no evidence of
global edit

- See IRC QA Session item that is selected in screenshot, that's a
good example of this bug.
- I wonder if bug 10948 is somehow related to: https://
