Cosmo 0.5

Tenets

Cosmo Sharing Server
  • Integrate support for remote databases via Hibernate
  • Fold the web calendar formerly known as Scooby into the Cosmo web UI.
  • Performance, scalability (technical improvements).

Cosmo UI

  • Dogfood: OSAF employees can use the web UI with or with out a Cosmo account to enter their PTO (paid time off) on the OSAF office calendar.
  • To keep raising excitement in the developer community.
  • Performance, stability and compatibility improvements over Scooby 0.2 (technical improvements in the web UI architecture).

Download

  • The download for Cosmo 0.5 is unavailable at this time. The project is in development.

Assumptions

  • This is a dog-foodable release. The target user is based on a very specific workflow and is not intended for a general audience use. Calendaring is the main focus for 0.5. Task lists and other features will be addressed in a later release.
  • Potential community contributor/developer, volunteer are still considered the primary target audience in addition to users interested in web technologies, AJAX and/or calendaring.
  • Chandler users may be casual users of the web UI, requiring us to make viewing Chandler calendar in the web UI as easy as possible.
  • Re-factoring and documentation from Scooby 0.2 will be in Cosmo 0.5
  • Revise web UI layout to more closely resemble Chandler where it makes sense.
  • To continue exhibiting the beginnings of a high quality consumer application. ie. logo, consistent icon set, small aesthetics tweaks.
    • For now, visuals will proceed in the “take it or leave it” design process. A more in-depth review of the web “look and feel” will be addressed at a later release date.

Status

Please note these are estimates and are not finalized.
