Summary

This JMAP session covered several topics, including updates on existing drafts related to calendars, contacts, and sharing, as well as discussions on portability, push notifications, file storage, and archive formats. The group discussed timelines for draft publication and adoption.

Key Discussion Points

Portability Drafts: Joris Baum provided an update on the three portability drafts (guide, REST, extensions). The Essential guide draft is nearly ready for working group last call (approximately 4 weeks). The group discussed minimum J-MAP implementation and the session object.
Tasks Draft: The group discussed the JMAP Tasks draft, particularly the need for more feedback from task vendors and communities beyond traditional calendar/contact applications. It was noted that this could fill a gap in portability for issue tracking systems. The spec adds a bunch of new properties to the JS calendar object that may be seen as more than just API nuances.
Push Notifications: Neil presented a draft extension for push notifications that allows clients to filter pushes based on email query and request specific properties within the push request to avoid additional HTTP requests.
File Node: Bron presented a file node draft based on Fastmail's file storage implementation, covering topics such as symbolic links, parent nodes, capabilities, changing node content, and metadata properties. The group discussed the properties that should be available and calculated properties such as full path and calculated rights on the node.
Archive Format: The group briefly discussed the potential adoption of a document for JMAP archive format.
Milestones: The group discussed and adjusted milestones for various drafts.
