Notes: May 22nd 2006 - Design Meeting

Sheila reviews scooby stickie plan

Scooby quickie background to current day

• use of calendar w/ Scooby
• came up with a list of features to create a basic calendar --> ended up in May 2006
  
• taking a subset of the list of features
• took the rest of the features into a stickie plan

Stickie plan types of users

1. Chandler usage remote access CalDAV portion of the data
2. Drive by collaborator/people who may use Scooby, but is not really using Chandler. Ie. User A uses Chandler to push calender on the web, Scooby for User B when travelling and does not track their own calendar.
   

Additional Questions for Scooby on where these features fit in the stickie plan?

• Month view
  
• Print
  
• Sending reminders to mobile devices

1.0 Potential Target User

1. Chandler User
2. Non-Chandler User
3. Web 2.0 User

• Who the Chandler target users are going to be? It is unclear is who going to be using the Scooby —target user?
• Do we need to have more then calendar?
  
• Is it useful for me if I only have remote access?

Higher level strategic questions:

1. Calendar or more than calendar?
   
2. Target users

• A. remote access desktop user P2
  
• B. drive by collaborator (and individual contributor, someone not using the desktop and wanting to collaborate.) P1
  
• C. is there a user that is sitting in Scooby all the time? P3 3. Scooby as a plug in/mash-up? Should this play a role in the strategy?
• What would made that stuff be compelling in the web domain, A. & B. necessary to achieve C.
  
• A. & B. clear benefits to strategy, paths to users/adoption.
  
• C. is unknown.

Katie: C. is someone is using Scooby on it's own merits.

• Web 2.0 repurpose the technology developers end users ie. yahoo groups comm driven collaboration on mass scale

Web 2.0 Mimi definition

• massive large scale community driven content
  
• push vs. pull. content gets pushed vs. pulled to you
  
• self-regulated (tagging, rating systems)
• Some amount of work for developers to be excited and make it easy for them to help.
• Once we have minimal read/write calendar do you continue to build features for calendar or mac to other areas (tasks etc.)?
• Is there some sort of alpha version plausible alpha framed & beta framed stuff, stickie exercise.
