Hi,

I think we've had a good discussion around this issue and have a  
better design because of it. All in all, this is a relatively low- 
stakes decision, so I propose we close on it now and go with the  
following verbiage:

File>>
+ Import .ics calendar file...
+ Export .ics calendar file...
------
+ Export collections and settings...
+ Reload collections and settings...

I understand that there are still issues to be worked out:
+ Will users understand that accounts are included in settings?
+ Will users understanding that collections include items as well?
+ Will users understand that Reload will overwrite all of their files?
+ Will users understand these features are for migrating data between  
different versions of Chandlers?

At this point, I think we've done enough design due diligence on the  
list and we should wait for dogfood feedback to drive future iterations.

Unless there are other outstanding issues I have missed, I will log a  
bug with this proposal.

Thx!

Mimi
