I am delighted to announce the release of Scooby 0.2! We launched on June 22nd, 2006. Please view the demo and download the code on the Scooby homepage. Scooby will be tightly integrated with Cosmo 0.4 and packaged with the OSAF server bundle.

What’s new in Scooby 0.2

Navigation

You are now able to ‘Log out’ of Scooby instead of letting it time out. The collection name is displayed in place of the path name when you subscribe or move your collection into Scooby.

Visual Polish

There are a few visual tweaks made to create a more consistent feel with Chandler, but only where it makes sense as a web application. Similarities between Scooby and Chandler include the following: The lozenge gradient color for selected and confirmed events, the timeline displayed on the left, and ‘Noon’ time indicator to differenciate between mornings & afternoons. Unique to Scooby are stylized buttons and the Scooby logo.

Managing Events

Users may now view recurring events in Scooby. You can overlap events within the same calendar. Scooby can also display the event status of an event: Confirmed, Tentative, and FYI.

Coding Standards

The Scooby team reorganized JS files into folders resembling packages in Java and added the Dojo JavaScript framework to the project.
