• Scrapped my "dual" sidebar work of the last 3 weeks and started over with a new approach.
• Implemented the following features from the sidebar spec:
  • Add a visual divider between the out-of-box collections and the user-defined collections using a grey line
  • Restore icons for the out of the box collections.
  • Display all of the OOTB collections as table view across all App areas
  • Disallow overlays for the OOTB collections (no rollover check-box icons at all) in the Calendar app
• Items that aren't yet finished from the spec include:
  • Create new collection icons for both OOTB and user-defined collections.
  • Implement a temporarily de-activated, but still checked state for checked collections when users select an OOTB collection while they have user-defined collections overlayed.
  • Disallow overlays for all collections in the All, Mail and Tasks app areas
  • Implement a selected state for sidebar collection icons and sharing status icons.
  • Implement a selected state for greyed out collection names. bug#5120
• I would have made a lot more progress, but I got hung up with what looks like a repository bug#6609
• Got rid of kindToDisplayName in sidebar and displayNameAlternatives in UserCollection along with the associated code.
• I will be away in DC September 1 through 4, then back to Utah. Due to Helen's schedule, I'm delaying my return to California until the following weekend. So I'll be back in Utah on the weekend of 9 September.
