Mimi Yin	Stamping and Ad-hoc Collections	In progress	Task management brainstorm.	Starting to think about Ad-hoc collections from the Top down, starting with the collection and then filling it with items. Thus far, we've been focused on a bottom up approach. However, with Task management, workflows are more often top-down.
Project : Chandler development / Framework / Parcel framework
Person	Goal	Status	Planned this week	Progress this week
Morgen Sagen	Improve parcel loading framework	In progress	Investigate (with Andi) a way to inject items into the repository without them being python objects. This could speed up import and commit times.	Met with Andi, and there is a chance that using Andi's Store API could give some improvement, but it will be tricky. We're going to talk about it some more. I made a lot of progress in adding real namespaces to parcels. Each parcel can define its own namespace, or simply inherit (append to) its parent's namespace name. Then others can refer to that parcel by namespace rather than repository path. Fixed a good bug that Brian Kirsch uncovered: a condition where a parcel can be loaded twice, with very subtle effects.

Later activity (not this week): Write down how we figured out that principal IDs are going to work as a draft engineering spec?	It seems we're in synch now about how item clouds relate to ACLs -- item clouds are intended to be where ACLs get set for all things in the cloud.

Looking more closely at Ecco. Looked at Esther Dyson's blog entry about Gmail's search / navigation affordances. Addresses some of the issues we're tackling in the Browser UI, namely: how do we provide users with flexible organization / navigation affordances without going too far and creating an acontextual anarchic mess? Reading up on WebDAV, slowly.

Ducky Sherwood	Get a first pass of wiki "view" and "preview" skins to Juergen.	Completed	Get a first pass of wiki "view" and "preview" skins to Juergen.	After hearing that Stuart's CSS expert friend couldn't figure out one of my many problems with Mimi's design in CSS, I redid it using boring old HTML4 tables. It was easier, looked better, and is probably more maintainable. (It also turned out that refactoring made it possible to easily update a number of additional pages, including edit, diffs, and a number of pages that use search.) Note that there are a few rough-ish edges -- like that on the diffs page, the footer isn't totally pretty, there are some alignments that aren't exactly right, etc.
Ducky Sherwood	Update metrics and see what the bump in web page requests is from.	Not started	Update metrics and see what the bump in web page requests is from.	Need an account on tutu; need stats.osafoundation.org to point to the right place.

Have read a bunch of documents but have not yet hit the exact actual steps we need to take.
