Cosmo Features Out for Preview

Summary

After reviewing the list of features from A to Zed, I've pulled out most of the feature which are not high priority (P1). There may be some P2s which I'd like to get a SWAG for and if possible move them to Preview, time permitting—these would be features to work on if there is more time. Though the schedule is tight also additional dogfood feedback, not on this list which will be incorporated into the 0.7 time frame.

Work items to support more than just events

Feature	UI Stickies	Server Stickies	Priorities	Questions/Comments
Multiple item view - displays diff types of items	3	0	We already have this for calendar today, would need for other types	There can also be different types of multiple-item view -- e.g., calendar-view versus table-view for displaying multiple events. -- MatthewEernisse
Single item view - displays diff types of items	2	0	Don't have this for calendar event so at a min would have to do single item view for 1 type
Stamping in server data model		2
Not hardwired to events - serialization between Cosmo and the browser	2*	0		*only if we have to implement something which reads "morse code"(DAV++) on the client side. if we just use JSON this becomes easier. -- BobbyRullo
Not hardwired to events - client side data model	3	0
Not hardwired to events - changing app to use new api	3	0		mde - What is the difference between this and the one below? -- BobbyRullo IIRC, This one is changing all the places in the UI code that use the old API to use the new one. The one below is designing and creating the new API to use in the UI code (e.g., createCalendar becomes createCollection or so). -- MatthewEernisse
Not hardwired to events - changing api on front end	2	0
Not hardwired to events - stamping support in client side data model	2	0

Other Cosmo Users

Multiple Database Servers

After discussions with Jared, there are a number of work items on the list that, once we switch to the hibernate backed Cosmo, will just have to work. Since we don't yet know if we will be using multiple databases for the Beta, some of these items could be deferred but since we are planning beyond Beta, I wanted to include them. P1

Database indirection	1-2	Support accounts on multiple dbs	Out
Centralized profile	<1	Use one db for profile info, another for actual user data	Out

Multiple App Servers

In the way that there are a set of features needed to support multiple dbs, if we support multiple app servers we may need the following. P2
