18:23grahamperrin > http://www.wuala.com/Chandler/2010/02/01/demo/001 shot 2 FAIL but in fairness, I don't expect Cosmo to respond gracefully to iCal attempting creation of the first collection (calendar)
18:25grahamperrin > http://demo.osaf.us/browse/grahamperrin-demo/34AA7A12-F42A-4033-9139-519B2EF77943 is the 'Untitled' result of that action in iCal.
18:26grahamperrin > TTW (through the web) I'll remove that Untitled collection, create an alternative collection, then review in iCal
18:29grahamperrin removes the Untitled collection, then creates at his http://demo.osaf.us/pim just one collection: 2010-02-01-022900
18:32grahamperrin clicked the exclamation mark for the /demo/ instance in iCal, again an error so I quit
18:33grahamperrin launched iCal, sat back, half-expected a reconciliation (iCal to present the collection 2010-02-01-022900 created on the Hub) (iCal to no longer present the Untitled collection) but instead,
18:33grahamperrin > > The server responded with an error.
18:33grahamperrin > > http://demo.osaf.us/dav/users/grahamperrin-demo/ is not a location that supports this request.
18:33grahamperrin > I'll remove from iCal the configuration for that account.
18:35grahamperrin > On second thoughts: when I OK that dialogue in iCal, the account is: without an exclamation mark; with both collections
18:35grahamperrin > and when I reload http://demo.osaf.us/pim there are two collections
18:35grahamperrin > 2010-02-01-022900
18:35grahamperrin > (as expected)
18:37grahamperrin > and below that,
18:37grahamperrin > d-001
18:37grahamperrin > which I can browse at http://demo.osaf.us/browse/grahamperrin-demo/34AA7A12-F42A-4033-9139-519B2EF77943
18:40grahamperrin > but I suspect that the name d-001 was not set by me; AFAIR the error in iCal presented immediately after I used the File menu to attempt a new calendar in that account
18:43grahamperrin > http://www.wuala.com/Chandler/2010/02/01/demo/001 shot 4, whilst TTW I see a collection named d-001 in iCal, the collection with ID 34AA7A12-F42A-4033-9139-519B2EF77943 has Name: Untitled
18:45grahamperrin > in iCal I renamed Untitled to 2010-02-01-024444-r-iCal
18:45grahamperrin > iCal signalled to me that it communicated with the server
18:45grahamperrin > iCal presented no error
18:46grahamperrin > a reload of http://demo.osaf.us/browse/grahamperrin-demo/34AA7A12-F42A-4033-9139-519B2EF77943 in Safari confirms that use of iCal 4.x to change of name of the collection with ID 34AA7A12-F42A-4033-9139-519B2EF77943 was successful :)
18:48grahamperrin > Preliminary conclusion: for *creation* of a collection on Cosmo, prefer the web interface to Cosmo (do not prefer iCal).
18:49grahamperrin > (For the benefit of anyone else reading this chat, in the future: such conclusions/lessons may be documented already in e.g. Chandler Project wiki. I'm intentionally working without documentation to see what does, and does not, make sense.)
