[chandler-users] Preview Tracking Colleciton

[Andre Mueninghoff]

Ah, a dashboard view on Cosmo would be / will be wonderful! I had seen
some discussion about the dashboard on Cosmo, but I'm not caught up on

whatever reason, when replying earlier to this thread I hadn't been
considering the discussions of the Cosmo dashboard at all. Thanks for
connecting those dots.
