[dev] Groupware "Display Items" Patch

[Nik Chanda]

Jan--

I have completed a patch for Mnemo that mimics the Kronolith 
functionality on the Notepad Display drop-down have added the Display 
Notepads section under the My Notepads page. (see 
http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=3424 ).  I just have a couple questions:

1.  Would you like me to submit the patch to the current ticket, or open 
a new ticket?  The current ticket is opened for Kronolith, so it may 
make searching easier in the future if we opened a new ticked under Mnemo.

2.  I found the need to clone code in several places to build the lists 
of "my_notepads" and "shared_notepads".  I would like to refactor to 
consolidate this code as the functionality is used heavily throughout 
the application.  Should this go in base.php, or in the Mnemo class?  
Currently base.php holds the logic that determines if there has been a 
change to the display list, but it seems that the Mnemo class should 
retain control over this functionality.  What do you think?

3.  The general concept of refactoring groupware apps to support the My 
Items and Shared Items display seems to be generic enough to build an 
"abstract" method of getting these lists.  Each of the lists only 
requires an item id, name and username, which is consistent throughout 
all of the target applications. Would it make sense to move this 
functionality down to the framework level?   Moving this into the 
framework would reduce a significant amount of one-off cloning.  Any 
thoughts?

Thanks.
