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

Hi Jason,

Do you have an IMAP email account? If you do, you can configure  
Chandler IMAP folders that would essentially support #2 below.

http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/GetStarted#Get%20Email%20into% 
20Chandler

Messages you drag into the Chandler Events IMAP folder will be  
downloaded into Chandler and added to your calendar. Chandler will  
attempt to figure out the dates and times of the event by looking at  
the title and contents of the email.

The other scenarios you describe would be great additions too! but  
would require adding support for "Chat" and "Document"  item types  
(in addition to the Note, Message, Event and Starred item kinds we  
already have).

Thanks!
Mimi
