Screenshot day
This time with the separate grid, always correctly sized, for dates labels & all day events ;-)
Better mockup with calendar view
It is not visible on the screenshot, but everything resizes correctly : not outer scrollbar, vertical space is occupied, the columns scale correctly.

Calendar mockup
As I'll probably never be OK with MiniG interface fitted into OBM, I'm experimenting on calendar integration into MiniG.
I'm just gathering infos for now, taking screenshots of Google Calendar, OSX iCal and Outlook Web Access. But as you can see on the following screenshot, MiniG looks nice with its iCal like portlet :D
You can also see on the screenshot that french i18n is available in current svn ;-)

MiniG slow down; OBM 2.2 deadline coming soon
As you may have noticed, MiniG development is stalling. Last commits were a major feature : reading emails forwarded as attachments.
OBM 2.2 database model will be frozen on monday, we are working pretty hard on fixing most schema glitches.
Lots of things are coming in OBM in 2.2 :
- MySQL won't be the default database, PostgreSQL 8.3+ will be (if you wonder why, give us 64bit timestamps, jdbc compliant driver _by default_, predictable optimizer choices and we will reconsider. A fix for yesterday's mysql busy lockup on a simple query at one of our biggest production site would be a plus).
- Unicode support (ok, as I'm working on the java parts of the solution, this one makes me laugh)
- Improved contact model & revamped sync servers to provide a "smartphones compliant" model
- Usable mozilla lightning support, with asynchronous synchronisation and greatly improved response times !
In my next post, I'll probably give information on how our sync servers went from 5/sync per sec (single threaded benchmark, mysql) on empty database to something like 30sync/sec (postgresql, single thread, no optimisation (full logs & timing on pg)).

Chat in MiniG, Jabber in OBM
As jabber integration is important (think lotus sametime, online meetings, etc), I did some prototyping on jabber support in MiniG ala GTalk.
I did a little screencast of what OBM+MiniG can do with an Openfire jabber server tonight.
Of course jabber integration is OBM 2.3 stuff, I'm just investigating what would be possible.
The MiniG / Jabber video is also available in poor quality on youtube:

Drag'n'drop support in MiniG
Well title says it all : you can move you conversations by drag'n'dropping them from the list to the folder tree.
It works for one or multiple conversations. My preferred way to move conversations is still with the actions combo-box, as I find it less error-prone.
As a screenshot does not really work for this kind of features, you can download an xvid screencast or watch the youtube version :
