If I change the title or time of an event through the GUI, I see a pop-up, "Would you like to send updates to existing guests? Send|Don't Send|Cancel" If I click "Send" the an updated invitation is sent to the attendees, immediately but the attendee status is not changed from "Yes" to "Awaiting Response". If I change the title or time of an event thought the Java API, the attendees are changed to "Awaiting Response," but e-mail is not immediately sent to the attendees. > Can someone else give this a try and see if they can reproduce the > behavior?

I believe that the correct default response should be to change the attendee status when the title or other information for the event changes, *and* to send an updated invitation to the attendees unless the organizer indicates that it doesn't matter. As an attendee, it makes a difference to me that the title of the event has changed from, "Using Google Calender Effectively," to "Wasting Time in Meetings" or that the event has changed from Wednesday to Tuesday. The GUI behaves properly, allowing the organizer to make minor changes to the event without notifying every one if the change is minor. The organizer knows enough to know what is minor, the API does not. I am holding out some possibility that changes made through the API are batched up and sent though e-mail after some delay, but I haven't seen them so far. This would be a sensible thing to do. You don't want to be notified every 5 minutes as the organizer runs though a series of changes perfecting the event details, but you do want to be notified.
