[Design] Chandler Server OOTB Collection

[Priscilla Chung]

Duh. That's the reason why we didn't have 'My calendar' originally. I  
think part of the reason was that it's not only a calendar, but a  
collection. From a user's perspective, the casual collaborator may  
not be aware of the term 'collection'.

+ Would it be understood by users if the default label said 'Brian's  
collection'?
+ Do we introduce this term to users who may not have a clue about  
Chandler and have them learn what a 'collection' means?

Maybe it's not a big deal, and users won't think twice about the  
term, (as I'm doing) rename the collection to whatever they want anyway.

I realize the 'collection' term is used on the desktop as one of the  
menu items, but once again if the target users for the web UI are not  
familiar with Chandler…is this a term we want users to have to learn  
since it's not apparent on the surface such as 'calendar'?

To keep things simple, should we just keep the term 'Chandler' for  
preview? Post preview, maybe it's about making the personalization  
leap to 'Brian's Chandler'. ;)
