Morgen

• Progress
  • Implemented item <--> EIM translator (except for Event)
  • Updated serializer based on discussions with Cosmo team
  • Implemented new subscribe algorithm
  • Working on new merge algorithm with pje (a unified algorithm that will work for server-based and p2p sharing, and "client wins")

Grant

• Progress
  • Moved the icalUID attribute from EventStamp to Note for Morgen’s EIM work.
  • Wrote up some example code to do the initial PROPFIND during a URL subscribe.
  • Recurrence:
    • Got most of the changes required for 7446: (Error when unstamping (removing event-ness) from recurring event) ready.
    • Worked out a scheme for having “pure” occurrences (i.e. ones without any changes) not be Items. I’m exploring whether this will have any reasonable impact on performance.
    • Investigated some ideas for making reminders, in particular recurring reminders, work better.
  • Edit/Update:
    • Attended meeting on sharing conflict resolution.
• Plan
  • Finish up reminder work.
  • Figure out some sticking points in the current recurrence branch.
  • Decide whether the non-item occurrence idea can actually fly.
