As promised, here is a quick mock-up of the conflict resolution UI in
the Notes field: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/

Foxmarks successfully employs a series of these as does .mac,
albeit they are less well done. If schedule doesn't permit this
level of work, I'd be satisfied with sending a notification of
some kind (to the status bar?) and perhaps modifying the Notes
field of the event in some fashion to show the conflicting
information. This could be done by appending a section to the
Notes field with details of the conflict. The user could then
manually fix up the item as needed.
That's interesting. I will try mocking something up to that effect.
This is merely meant to be suggestive. The key idea is the user
know there is a conflict and give her the information needed to
make a decision about what to do about it.
Third principle: Notify the user, and give her a chance to fix the
problem.
Absolutely!
Thanks for your input Mitch. :o)
