Agenda:

• Brief overview of areas for which we need to start the design-eng dialog (ordered in priority)
• 1. item sharing/item versioning
• 2. collection sharing (subscriber status)
• 3. collection design and filtering (deletion semantics)
• 4. IMAP folder reconciliation
• Identify engineering point people for top 3 items
• Agree on a meeting schedule for the next 2-3 weeks for the 2 top priorities. (use 3rd as backup if some resources become critical path for 0.4 and are unavailable)
• Discussion of next steps

Item versioning

• huge cost for development
• versioning is mos of work for couple of developers (BIG)
• item sharing is possible
• cases for item versioning
• -> item and collection sharing
• -> conflict resolution
• -> editing emails
• -> no current safeguards on people making changes
• -> undo might be a solution

Next Steps: "Versioning"

• Design will puts together a concise compilation of information that has now been assembled (CL)
• Forward to Katie and Lisa for review and schedule a brief meeting to discuss.

Collection Sharing (Not BIG)

• subscriber status - 2 week item development
• automatic sync - 2-6 weeks to deal with polling (threading issues)
• what are the overall Kibble goals? (CL)
• how can we stage this over the next few releases
• ACL for collection sharing
• sharing a subset of a collection.

Next Steps: "Collection Sharing"

• put together initial workflows for next phases of sharing (SM)
• Katie and Lisa will be point people to talk to.

Deletion Semantics

• first pass at design goals
• then iterate on that
• -> deletion and undeleting
• -> when do you garbage collect something
• -> what is the UI workflow to move to trash, out of trash when it's gone

Next Steps: "Deletion Semantics"

• design team needs to spec out the deletion semantics then Katie will review and decide who needs to be brought into the discussion.

Sharing a Filtered Collection:

• -> separate discussion
• -> supposed to be a followup discussion
• Katie and Lisa will identify who is going to own item collections.

Next Steps: "Sharing Filtered Collections"

• meeting with John and Ted and Katie (Lisa)

IMAP folder reconciliation

• have a bucket list of features that we want to have
• need Brian/Lisa to scope these
• the next step is that someone prepare a proposal
• what are the gui folders (imap mental model)?
• how to store items coming from other folder - including the inbox.
• nested imap folders are considered flat.
• what it means to flatten imap folders - still talk about the requirements
• cost out what is required with out brian's input
• Lisa will review IMAP mental model and comment on what's missing etc.
• look at the features and do guesses without individual engineers

Next Steps: "IMAP Folders"

• Lisa will read the sidebar spec and comment on the IMAP mental model.
• followup with a meeting with Chao, Lisa to discuss

Next meeting scheduleed for 1:00pm Sept 9th - Agenda TBD
