Unified sharing proposal

• I think this proposal might work for sharing both views and individual items

• Overview
• [Workflow] Setting privacy, making an item shareable (Default), activating sharing
• [Workflow] Initiating sharing and inviting contacts to share
• [VD] Showing that an item is shared, shared under a shared view. Showing which view an item is shared under.

• Open issues
• Should the Sharer set access priveleges for "non" Chandler users before sending out an invitation to share? OR only after Sharer and Sharee have established a sharing network.

• Checking the privacy box de-activates the sharing box with visual feedback that the item / view has now been marked private.
• If the sharing box is checked, checking the privacy box de-activates all shares of that item, de-activates the sharing box and unchecks the sharing box
• Checking the sharing box exposes "From:" and "To:" fields as well as a "Conversation" box and a "Send" button to activate sharing.
• After the user hits Send, the "Shared" item or view provides visual feedback that it is now a shared item / view.

• visually separate out notes from "conversation items" and "email body area" to differentiate between different kinds of "type here" spaces
• user should be able to decide after the fact whether a note should be public v. private (ie. setting privacy doesn't make sense to a user that doesn't share
