Things that should be added to Skim from Guernsey (version 0.4):

* UI changes (logo, icon)
* Making asynchronous request calls
* New MD5 library
* Adding task to user's default list

By adding better error handling, we can drastically reduce the number of
API calls to rtm. For example, we do not have to check if our token is
valid every time we refresh. A new token only need to be obtain if the
current one is invalid.

Making use of the following user settings:
timezone
dateformat
timeformat
defaultlist
language

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install widget
2. Try to hit "Deauthorize" button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing happens, "Done" buttons moves to a different position on the screen
than where it should be. Don't know how to enter my login to make the
widget work.

What version of Milk the Cow are you using? On which version of OS X?
0.5, I'm using Snow Leopard

Please provide any additional information below.
Using an iMac with Mac OS Snow Leopard

Automatically check for updates

would be a great enhancement to reduce clutter.

Currently, a task is highlighted on mouse over. We want to show task detail
on mouse over and more actions to do (change name, date, priority, etc...)
much like the gmail RTM extension.

There is no way to delete a task now.
This can be added in the details box

Add possibility to check and edit notes and URLs 

Sometimes Milk the Cow accidentally complete another task instead of the
intended one. The cause of this problem have not yet been found yet. Need
to investigate further.

Will be nice if milkthecow will use date formats from system. Or just names of 
months in systems 
laguage.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just look at your list of tasks
2. note that it only sorts on date.. otherwise, there's no ordering thereafter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

it would be nice to see it sort on priority, then (optionally) the names
(alphabetically)

What version of Milk the Cow are you using? On which version of OS X?

0.4.4 on leopard

There should be a library separate from milkthecow.js that handles all the
RTM API calls, rtm.js
This library should be done with Object-Oriented Javascript:
var RTM = { variable: value, ... }
RTM.method = function(){}

This has many benefits:
 * rtm.js can be re-used by others
 * makes code much more organized and easier to navigate through
 * variables are encapsulated within the RTM class, avoiding conflicts and
leaking
 * md5.js can also be included into rtm.js

P.S. setISO8601 and date.format.js should be in one file or be included
into milkthecow.js  

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answers/basics/keyboard.rtm

Priority is already implemented (1,2,3,4)

Add others as appropriate.

Is it possible to make some notifications when some task is due?

for example, pop up a window or use growl to notify me that i should milk
the cow in 5 minutes.

thanks!

Remember user's filter settings

hide the custom filter. it's confusing and making changes in custom filter
does not correspond to the magic filters

rename Magic Filter to Filter

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make an entry that is long enough that it wraps in MTC

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nicely formatted text. 

What version of the product are you using? On which version of OS X?
MTC 0.4, MacOS 10.5.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Formatting on Remember the Moof is good. (0.4 is much better than 0.3 however).

Use a date picker to set due date for a task. Set time separately.

http://marcgrabanski.com/code/ui-datepicker/
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker

The current widget only displays about 6 tasks then it overflows.
Make task list scrollable.

When time has passed for a reoccurring task, it would show up as no due
date in MtC and unable to complete the task.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. resize the main window
2. click the 'i' to change some filters, etc
3. click on the done button
4. the button moves to reflect the main window size/position

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the 'done' shouldn't move.

What version of Milk the Cow are you using? On which version of OS X?

0.5.0 on 10.5.8

Please provide any additional information below.

Allow multiple undo. Current version only allows one. Store transaction id
in a stack.

http://cssglobe.com/post/6984/ux-trick-display-form-data-as-tabular-data

With pure CSS solution, amount of html and javascript code needed to deal
with this behavior would be greatly reduced.

Change the font used for task names

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

Using the back of the widget to set preference of displaying tasks with
certain filters (currently only using "status:incomplete" filter)

Mike the cow needs tagging.....

Smart Add is already supported, but auto suggestion would be really nice.
http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/smartadd/

Tasks with priorities should be color coded like RTM

1 - orange
2 - dark blue
3 - light blue
none - no color

Can we display the due date/time in a better format / more customizable / 
easier to translate?

http://tpgblog.com/cutetime/

If I have a long task name, it will display over the tasks below it making
both titles unreadable. Same happens in the details slider window that
opens when clicking on a task in the list.‹

need Widget Icon and Preview (Icon.png and Default.png)

Not sure if there are any existing unit testing tools for dashboard
widgets, but having unit test would be nice.

When editing tags, add autocomplete feature like RTM. Try match RTM's look
& feel if possible.

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make it look like it belongs on a Mac
2. Update the logo
3. Remove gradient from the background, make it a solid color.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to look good, I mean, we're mac users :)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3 (12/19/08)

Please provide any additional information below.
Just a UI update please

If a user click on the info button (turning the widget over) before
authentication, a proper token have not yet been issued, but magic filter
will try to get the users list which would in turn fail and crash the widget.

Milk the Cow Skim version

This version of MtC will just add tasks and not display any extra info

RTM could give redirect to Temporarily Unavailable page but still return
status code 200.

http://static.rememberthemilk.com/unavailable.html

Right now, every new task just gets dumped to Indox. User should be able to
choose which list the new task goes into.

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/4549/#26894

Milk the Cow can display but not add tasks with unicode characters

Add a button in the back to deauthorize in order to log in to a different
account.

First let me say i really like this widget, its exactly what I've been
searching for! The ability to use any RTM search criteria is powerful, but
has a problem.  The widget doesn't save any of the search parameters that
get typed into the "advanced search" box.  The widget should have a way to
save these parameters to the widget-com.rich.widget.milkthecow.plist file.
 Since this doesn't happen everytime i logout and then back in and start up
the widget i have to reenter my search criteria in the advanced search box.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have loaded the widget from the webpage
2. I have authenticated
3. None of my information shows on the desktop widget

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On which version of OS X?
0.4.1 for MacOSX

Please provide any additional information below.

this is per our email - but wanted to send this to you as you had asked.

Thanks

tags should be shown along with task names and due dates

Current undo stack only stores transaction id used to make undo requests to 
RTM. This works fine but the UI is less responsive. If the UI could update 
before undo request is sent to RTM, UI should feel more responsive. This 
could be implemented with an undo function for every undoable RTM calls.

If details box is already open and displaying task X, clicking on task X
again now will do nothing.

The correct behavior should be:
clicking on task X closes details box
clicking on task Y switches to displaying task Y

This is an enhancement request. Currently, the widget is not resizable. I find 
it too small, so it 
would be nice if it could be resized.

'/' is currently being used to add tags. Should consider changing this to '#'.

'/' is used in The Hit List
(http://www.potionfactory.com/blog/archives/hit-list)

'#' is used as Hashtags for twitter (http://hashtags.org/)

'@' is not feasible as it can represent time
