Re: 'Weird triage and sharing bugs to focus on' Redux

I seems that the 2 items in the QA calendar that popped into the NOW  
section are both valid as far as I can tell. One of the items re- 
appeared with the same conflict I believe I had resolved earlier. I  
resolved it again today and it seems to have stayed. The other is a  
customer tickler set on a past instance of a recurring event,  
possibly for testing purposes.

Yes, lets do a joint test session this Wednesday at 11 a.m. Lets talk  
offline about what scenarios we would like everyone to exercise on a  
precreated shared collection.
