r26 - 29 Mar 2007 - 17:07:18 - MimiYinYou are here: OSAF > Journal Web > MimiYin > UnifiedDataInAndOutProposal
Goals:
Unify workflows for getting data into and out of Chandler, regardless of the protocol used to move the data around. In the Beta/1.0 timeframe, we anticipate supporting the following types of data:- Email and IMAP folders
- Sharing
- RSS feeds
- File Import/Export
- Put multiple data streams into a single collection (e.g. Put Office calendar, Conference room calendar and the HR share into a single OSAF collection.); AND
- Create ad-hoc outbound data streams without having to create and maintain a sidebar collection. (e.g. Put these 13 events up as a 'Office Birthday Parties' calendar).
Use Cases
- Helen the Hub, Angie the Apex, Eli the Executive Assistant and Bart the Busy Body / Coordinator need to Collect their information: Helen receives a lot of emails that she needs to follow up with pretty lengthy replies. In order to keep track of the various drafts she's working on, she needs an easy way to get these emails into ng group.
- Bart the Busy Body / Coordinator sets up an Office Collection that includes Office events, HR tasks and forms for employees, various IT How-To instructions that are stored as Notes, New Hire Orientation messages and all Office announcements (e.g. Carpets are getting cleaned next weekend.)
- Eli the Executive Assistant sets up a share to allow Angie the Apex to have a view into his task list
- Bart the Busy Body / Coordinator posts a short-term share: e.g. Bart posts a Brown Bag Lunch calendar as an ad-hoc share. He selects all Brown Bag events from his Office Events calendar and publishes them as a discrete Brown Bag Lunch calendar on Cosmo for those just interested in Brown Bag Lunches. However, in his sidebar, he doesn't have to maintain the Brown Bag Lunch calendar separately. Since he is responsible for coordinating all Office Events, he prefers to see the Brown Bag Lunch events in the context of all the other events he's planning.

Comments
Main.Mimi Yin 20060907 BrianKirsch has suggested that before we allow users to pull down any old IMAP folder, we offer them the option to set up special Chandler IMAP folders. 1 for Messages. 1 to add messages to the Task list. and 1 to add messages to the Calendar. See mock-up below. This allows users to not only add email to Chandler via their IMAP account. But it also allows them to stamp them as well. To improve discoverability: I'm proposing that we provide a checkbox in the IMAP Account set-up dialog, checked by default. And provide a [Configure] button that takes people to the IMAP Folders tab.- SetupIMAPAccount.png:
