Katie's status

• Working on in-place editing, hope to have checked in by milestone. I worked around focus problems, but TextCtrl is fairly problematic on the mac. I haven't tested this on Linux. I didn't use attribute editors -- they were more cumbersome and didn't buy me anything, it was easier to work through focus issues, etc. just using a TextCtrl. It might be reasonable to use them eventually with a relatively small change.

Bryan

• Making progress on my growing pile of bugs
• Trying to make progress on attribute editors in the detail view (conversion to which will resolve some of the bugs)
• Doubtful that all my 0.5-tagged bugs will get fixed in the next two weeks, before I leave on...
• Vacation: gone 2/23-3/2, then part-time thru 3/11.

Morgen

• Sharing:
  • Improved error handling
  • Fixed a security hole that Heikki learned about at Mozilla (malicious redirects)
  • Support for 'isPrivate' attribute
  • Provided Bryan with sharing helper methods
  • When invited to a new server, a dialog prompts for username/password, and a new account item is created
• Accounts dialog:
  • You can now create/delete accounts
  • You can try out WebDAV settings
  • You can specify which default accounts to use for sharing, sending and receiving email
