[chandler-users] Scheduling monthly meetings is difficult

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Jared,

Thanks for piping up. We've heard this from other dogfooders as well,  
so you're not alone.

I've logged a bug to keep track of the scenarios people mention:  
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8087. I imagine  
this will get punted to future, but it's certainly an important  
feature we will need to support shortly thereafter.
