Hi Ted,
+1 on the Item Collection Proposal.
One point I would like to raise is the case when background tasks (ie.
Mail) register to receive notifications.
It would be nice to have a few options to specify which thread to post
the notification to.
I can see three concrete cases:
1. CPIA wishes to receive a Notification. Post the Notification in the
main / GUI thread.
2. A twistedized service such as Mail wishes to receive a Notification.
Post the Notification in the Twisted thread.
3. A background task wishes to receive a Notification. Post the
Notification to a new thread (from a thread pool).
The third case above is currently employed by my WakeupCaller service code.

Hi,
For those of you that are interested in Item Collection, I've checked
in the first version of a spec <http://viewcvs.o11n.org/docs/trunk/
docs/specs/rel0_6/ItemCollection-0.6.html?rev=171>. This spec
focuses on the behind the
scenes implementation of Item Collection as opposed to the the UI
behaviors (which are documented in the Sidebar spec).
I'll be continuing to flesh this out, but I'd welcome any feedback
that people have on the current version.
