[chandler-users] Feature Suggestion/Request - Note versioning

I've been thinking (and thinking and thinking) about how Chandler is a 
"the note to self organizer" (nice tag line). My interest is in how it 
relates to the concept of a wiki. One thing that i think is missing from 
the note field, especially in light of the fact that a shared item can 
be updated from potentially many other participants, is the idea of 
versioning for the contents of an item. There are many times when i want 
to be able to go back and see what i had written X days ago, in regard 
to an outline that several of us might be working on via Chandler. There 
are other use-cases for this, even when i'm working on something 
personally.

I've found that i simply move the content into a Google-doc now, and 
share the doc with other interested parties (it has versioning 
built-in). And perhaps that is where it should live, rather then bloat 
the DB with potentially 100's of diffs/versions of notes.

I thought i'd throw this out there, and see if any other Chandler users 
have felt the desire for the ability to view previous versions of notes...

Thanks!
