Hi,

I have taken over pulling together the Known Issues. This is what I have thus far: http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/KnownIssues

There is still a lot of work to be done, but I have some questions to answer before I can proceed any further.

*DESKTOP*
Sheila nominated a number of Desktop bugs to remove from the known issues list, even though they had been tagged with the relnote keyword. *Philippe,* please review the bugs in the NIX list and advise as to how these should be dealt with.
See my detailed comments inline below
I'm also assuming that bugs that have been marked as FIXED or WORKSFORME should not be included on the known issues page.
Agree. I checked them rapidly (only 23 of those) and see no reason to mention any of them.

*BUGS TO REMOVE FROM DESKTOP KNOWN ISSUES*
NIX
* Bug#2497 - Send' doesn't change to 'Send to New' when you add invitees to a shared collection
      * Mimi do you even want to mention this?

We actually do not support the "send only to new addressees" feature yet so I don't think it's worth relnoting as most email clients don't support this either.

   * Bug#1237 - Block Demo: Controls view popup menu is empty
* I don't think we even have this menu item anymore do we? It was closed as won't fix but I didn't know why it was relnoted.

It was relnote for 0.6, at a time we had that menu item. Don't need to relnote now for sure.

* Bug#9478 - "Mailbox does not exist" message on syncing mail into Chandler * This bug was resolved but I think there is still some user issue that they might run into this. I don't quite understand if it's simply an artifact of using the old ini files and people won't realistically run into it anymore. I put in on the list for us to talk about since I wasn't sure if it was worth logging.
See bkirsch's answer on that one.
* Bug#7185 - Mailcap file /etc/mailcap, line 40: incomplete entry ignored. when opening XRC dialog
      * Resolved invalid...not sure if we want to relnote

Heikki marked that as relnote worthy but I wonder why. It's unlikely to annoy much users.

   * Bug#8231 - Unified strategy for dealing with prompts and warnings
      * I don't remember why we relnoted this
I remember marking it relnote: the problem is for users who want to use Chandler without email, they get nagged with messages because of the default accounts being created. Workaround: for those who want to use a Chandler without email, simply delete the empty OOTB accounts and the nagging dialog will disappear. This workaround need to be added to the relnote and/or known issue list.
* Bug#9046 - Sharing Error when using Restore Settings to upgrade from Alpha 4 for Trunk * This was closed and addressed with better migration instructions. I am assuming we don't need to do anything else.

We need to relnote to early adopters that they may want to edit their ini files to avoid problems. I think the whole change of sharing address scheme is worthy of a relnote.

* Bug#7158 - Sharing should catch Zanshin exception instead of outputting a Traceback
       * Closed as won't fix
Yup, no need to relnote that one.

(Explain in Get Started Guide instead)
   * Bug#9342 - Can't send email to non-osaf accounts
* This is not a bug but I didn't know I had to check authentication. We should probably put this in the FAQ, GetStarted Guide...not sure where.

Agree with mentioning in the FAQ in a "I can sent email, what's happening?" section, may be in the Guide as part of the "Setting up accounts" section.

Cheers,
- Philippe
