Calendar:0.3a2 Task List

Sunbird 0.3a2 goals/tasklist

I (jminta) wanted to start getting down some sort of checklist for what needs to be done for 0.3a2, so that we can get that out the door a lot faster than 0.3a1. Feel free to add/subtract/comment on this.

New views

• Get calendar-month-view.xml and calendar-multiday-view.xml into Sunbird and track down all the regressions this will cause (redrenius/jminta are testing this now)
• Fix coloring/themes to match throughout app
• Be consistent throughout with editing single occurrence/all occurrences (probably need new UI, or at least a prompt)
• It's pretty easy to allow custom views at with calendar-multiday-view.xml, consider exposing some UI for that
• jminta wants a new selection manager to replace calendarEventSelection()
• Unify the tasklist/views, so that the bugs about the delete/edit buttons not working for tasks go away.

Event Dialog

• calendar-event-dialog.xul is a lot simpler, easier to use, but it's missing some of the fields we want, expecially categories.
• gekacheka had some ideas here
• Again, be consistent with single occurrence/all occurrences

Unifinder

• mvl mentioned this might need/want to be redone

Prefs

• Stop using get*Pref() to set default prefs. Use a real pref.js file
• Probably best to use the basic idea behind get*Pref, to reduce the need to write var prefService = ..., then fix all these calls
• Figure out what prefs are no longer useful, what new ones we need
• There's a bug on adding an advanced tab with a link to about:config (but redrenius' extension also works fine)

Timezones

• Actually make the timezone pref picker work
• Stop creating events as floating by default
• Figure out UI for creating events in particular timezones

Speed

• mvl has the 0.3a1 blocker for importing speed.
• Where else are we slow that we can gain?
• Is it too early for calICalendarCaching?

ICS calendars

• do more with webdav:
  • locking
  • and/or eTag
  • url browsing to get the right cal
• improve ics provider code
• try to have some way to safely share a calendar

Alarms

• Make alarms not suck as much as they do now

Misc

• There are some other bugs that we denied 0.3a1 approval for, track those down and get them in.
• There's been some recent noise regarding Syncml for mozilla stuff. Maybe try and get that in?
