[chandler-users] note taking from discussion forums, blogs, and wikis

Hi Jason,

How are you hoping to use Chandler in your company?

Today, Chandler is optimized to serve small-groups working closely  
together. Which isn't to say that a large company can't use Chandler  
since even large companies are comprised of lots of small groups ;)

However, Chandler isn't really meant to function like centralized bug  
databases, contacts directories or document-sharing systems where  
hundreds if not thousands of people all need to access the same  
information.

Learning a bit more about the problems your company needs solutions  
for will help me answer your question.

Thanks!
Mimi
