Sheila and Philippe said they'd start fining me a dollar every time they
saw me using iCal instead of Chandler, so I finally started *really*
dogfooding Chandler.
I have notes here:

A couple highlights...
I'm using sharing to synchronize calendars between my mac laptop and two
windows desktops. (Noted that this isn't completely in line with our
target user). Using iCal, I just didn't have access to my calendar at my
desktop, so its nice for me already.
I've found it useful to be able to sync with the office calendar and
have it be "not mine". I moved several office calendar events into my
work calendar, which really works nicely for me. Being able to edit the
office calendar is useful, and having some of the office calendar events
show up as mine is also useful.
Receiving tickets and subscribing to a calendar was pretty painless, but
creating the ticket and managing it was a bit more painful.
A couple of suggestions/ideas...
+ When setting up a share and generating tickets, could we create a note
in the repository with the ticket in the body? It would then be easy to
stamp the note as an email and mail it to someone, or just save it for
future reference. This would have cut out the step of opening up
notepad, which would be cool.
+ It would be cool to be able to share a bunch of collections at once.
+ In my use case, I actually would have liked to share the colors of the
collections. Could this be an option?
+ Could we put today's date in the mini calendar, instead of "today"?
+ I found the sharing dialog confusing. Could we move the "sign up for
account" button away from the form fields?
Cheers,
Katie
