Here's an agenda for the Kind Filter meeting:

• Mimi gives a very quick overview of the motivation for the Sidebar Kind Filter
• Describe and discuss the basic filtering primitive
• Discuss concept of filtered collection? Can a filtered collection be shared?
• Discuss simplified 0.4 spec

Basic Filtering

• KindFilter^?.jpg:
  

Example:

• Click on Event kind filter
• On the sidebar, you see only collections containing Events
• Clicking on a sidebar collection then only shows Events in the summary view

Filtered Collections

• Is there an engineering construct Filtered Collections? Data model issue?
  • Primarily, can a user share just the filtered items in a collection?
• Assume this is not a 0.4 feature

Simplified 0.4 Spec

• Each Kind Filter element (ALL, message, event, task, notes) act as mutually exclusive toggles (no multi-kind selection)
• ALL displays all items (no filtering)
• Each other Kind Filter element does the basic filtering described above for Events
• If clicking on a Kind Filter element filters away the current side bar collection, the "All Collection" on the sidebar is selected with the associated Kind Filter applied
• Filters persist across sessions

To easily demonstrate 0.4 calendaring sharing

• Assume filtered collection sharing is not in 0.4.To demonstrate sharing in 0.4, we'll create a "Calendar Demo" collection, pre-populated with demo events to do sharing
