* Discussed Test automation with the test automation guru at Sun.  Unfortunately the test automation for Star Office will not port into the Mozilla stack.  So, we decided to investigate the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mochitest_FAQ MochiTest] to see if this can be used from within calendar in the same way that it is used in Firefox. Clint and Ulf will take this on.  Others are of course welcome to help out in this effort.

* We also decided that until the new UI lands, we should begin writing API tests that use XPCShell ({{bug|365212}}).  This will be re-discussed tomorrow at the morning quick QA Session. We unfortunately could not invite others to this because of time-constraints of Thornsten, the Sun QA automation guru.

* We also talked at great length about how to perform invitations in the new UI that we decided on to better integrate Lightning into Thunderbird.  We decided that there will be an invitation management UI that will be part of the "calendar" mode.  We will indicate the number of invitations (both email and server based invitations) by bumping a number next to the "calendar mode" icon. (This is similiar to the way that a number for new emails are shown as an icon next to the thunderbird icon).  Once you click the calendar mode button the calendar view shows up wnad you have an invitation dialog available. YOu will be able to accept/tentatively accept/decline the invitations from this UI. You will also be able to drag the invitations from this UI into some other calendar (which generates an "Accept"). If you double click on a invitation from this UI  you will see the invitation displayed in a "read only" version of the event dialog. Default behavior will be to accept, and as far as sending notifications back, it will default to bring up the compose window to allow the user to edit the response.   

** We also discovered that by using a Filter, you can filter messages based on the "Content-Type" setting, and if you do that, it seems that the filtering code pre-screens the message in order to determine information about the attachments. This means that we might be able to do the same thing in order to "under the covers" load emailed invitations into the invitation management system.

* By storing the provider's timezone version (a value that is changed when the provider's timezone definitions change), and by always storing the provider timezone definition we may be able to mitigate the timezone destruction caused by having two versions of Calendar access the same ICS file.

* Provider UID ( this would include UID for Mozilla providers i.e. local storage etc)

* Provider timezone version

* Mozilla Tzid value

* Mozilla zone definition
