Questions and Answers

• Q: If Timezone is changed in the middle of the week, how do we define how long is a week? A: This is an edge case. Also, soon we'll allow users to ask for a report from a given date, which will make it even less important

• Q: Should we report the user on items that he deleted during the last week? It may be viewed as transition out of focus. A: Seems important. Accessing deleted items is possible, ask Andi Vajda and dev-list for references.

• Q: Are there any guidelines on working with dates and times representation? A: There are two main formats, float number of seconds since the epoch and Python's datetime. parcels/osaf/pim/calendar/TimeZone.py should be advised. ShortFormat^? for formatting. It is better to format the title of the report in this way.

• Q: How do I run unit-tests? A: Similarly to other tests, add the

   if __name__ == "__main__":

  and run as main

• Q: How can I generate items from a file? A: Look into importing from EIML format

• Q: Can I access information about all the history of modifications of items? Specially, in what triage status an item was created is important. A: Yes. Andi Vajda and the dev-list for references.

• Q: Internalization of strings and avoiding concatenation. A: In general, names of sections in the report are better internationalized

  _(u"string") 

  , the data itself in the report (such as Items titles) may remain in the format of strings. Concatenation of small pieces of strings is heavy and better avoided. Using templates is preferrable. Concatenating whole lines of titles is fine.
