Cosmo Design Session Notes: Unified (Magic) URL

The Cosmo team reviewed the workflow and mock ups: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/CosmoMagicURLStoryboards

The next action is to modify the mock ups based on our discussion in today’s meeting. Then to follow up on the design list.

Summary of changes

• Screen 3 'Preview' of Calendar in Cosmo, to work an additional screen when it is logged in.
• When the user first clicks on the URL, to show a default Calendar page with a blank event details
• Screen 3b, to rework the subscribe dialog, yes, no. Remove cancel
• Screen 4 subscribe, may not need additional page for subscription but have the option to subscribe in the application, other feeds and ical links directly from the calendar view
• How to display 'temporary' collection; a collection which is not subscribed, but if the user has logged on to a Cosmo account and is viewing a collection from a clicked URL, but not subscribed to it.
• Need to be able to unsubscribe
• Renaming the collection
• Delete the collection (Currently this can only be done in the 'home collection' part of the application)

Notes:

• we need a default event to once the user has clicked on the URL, is the event details blank when you first click on the link?
• might be an opportunity for instructions when the event details is blank when you first click on the url from the email
• we want the URLs bookmark-able and construct them (tough with tickets -bobby)
• name of the calendar,
• mde: how far you're zoomed in, how much do we want to save?
• new design work to have in place log in and in the client
• ad the ability to subscribe even if you've already subscribed to cosmo
• don't need to have 'cancel' button in screen three, subscribe
• log in to not have anything to do with subscription
• when you're logged on you can still view the collection sent by the chandler user, but it would not be in the drop down collection
• Preview mode is editable, don't use the word 'Preview'
• there's always the option to add the collection
• section in the pull down, temporary subscription/collection of what you see
• you should be able to always see a subscribe button
• it would be confusing if you have already been subscribed, adding this new calendar
• how to have this thing selectable, but not grouped with the other things
• propose to have a selection opposed to drop down
• bcm to may not need to have this additional page to subscribe after you've subscribed to cosmo
• stop considering RSS technology, ppl understand the concept of feed, don't need to say Atom -bcm
• feed link can be there somewhere, same w/ iCal.
• subscribe with other apps.
• when you're already logged in, you see the pop up, you can show up on the temporary list

• would like to have two separate mock ups, next level of detail
• more verbose instructions instead of just 'subscribe'-bcm
• color zone instructions, roll overs
• home collection browsers, admin
• subscribing to something that is not a calendar
• mock up some explanatory temporary text, for items beyond support more then just events

• Ted will need estimates on how long it's going to take
