Chao has looked into some screencasting technology to help us storyboard some basic .6 calendar workflows. (Check out

Proposal 2 sets of .6 tours. One pre-release based on photoshop comps to show where we ultimately want to go with Kibble. A second set to come out with the release, using screencasts of the real UI to show .6 workflows.
Kibble calendaring workflows
- Managing your own schedule
- Adding events straight onto the calendar and moving them around
- Adding events with no time information
- Pencilling in events (tentative)
- Adding FYI events
- Managing multiple calendars and overlaying them
- Adding events and sending them out
- Sending out invitations with no specific time proposal
- Putting emails that are invitations onto the calendar
- Managing someone else's schedule (ie. Esther for Mitch)
- Adding events onto their calendar
- Notifying participants of events by sending the event as an email
- Self-managing group calendar (ie. OSAF calendar)
- Different people adding events onto the calendar (ie. PTO, company picnic, etc)
- Different people adding to the notes field of an event (ie. meeting agenda, what i'm bring to the potluck, who can carpool)
- Notify participants by sending the event as an email
- Scheduling a meeting
- Overlaying several calendars to find a free slot
- Checking out the "busy person's" calendar to find some good times to propose (the way LPFI does their invitations)
- Long-term scheduling
- Scrolling through the mini-calendar to look at your own long-term busyness
- Overlaying several shared calendars to get a sense of overall activity level
- Looking for due dates and milestones across the group
