Alec and I have been talking about storing color information in a
separate dictionary which is associated with the data's view, not the
data itself. This issue comes up over and over again, so we'd like to
solve it in a general way that we reuse throughout the UI. Perhaps the
three of us could discuss it on Skype.

Alec is storing color in an attribute of a kind called CalendarData
which is mixed-in with ItemCollection, which seemed a sensible way to
do it, but I don't have strong feelings about how it's organized. The
options I am weighing are how to provide the feature we've talked
about in the past where the attribute values a sharer publishes are
used as initial values on each of the sharees' items, but once the
sharees have those items, further changes they make are not exported
from the sharees. I can implement this behavior based on endpoints,
or Andi suggested I look at using the repository's ACL system which is
an interesting idea.

Hi Morgen:
I ran into these kind of problems in the past and concluded that the
only viable solution is to separate display info from data -- which
means not storing color info on the ItemCollection.

Ok, sharing now handles mixins by including the constituent kinds'
info. I'm weighing various options on how to keep calendar colors
"semi-private", meaning sharees can change the color at will without
those changes percolating out to anyone else.

The sharing framework doesn't yet handle sharing of items whose
kinds are mix-ins, and now that any item collection that is
assigned a calendar color becomes an instance of a mix-in kind, you
can't currently share them (well you can share them but you can't
subscribe to them). I'm working on a solution. For now you can
only share a collection that you haven't viewed in week view
(that's when a color gets assigned). I've already filed bug 2888
against myself to track this:

P.S. The reason this breaks is because the Kind of a
Calendar-Collection-with-Color becomes something like:
//Schema/Core/Mixins/mixin_708eb5fc, which doesn't mean anything on
the sharees' end. For items of a mix-in kind, I'll need to include
all the individual mixed-in kinds' info in the XML.
