[Design] Chandler Server OOTB Collection

[Matthew Eernisse]

Agreed that use of 'my' in any naming convention is horrible. Even 
setting aside the Clippy-like feeling over being overly familiar, 
telling a user to go to "your My Collection" is cringe-inducing.

I personally don't have a problem with the possessive used with either 
my name, or the username for my account, especially when it's a default 
that I can customize anyway. All very subjective.

I proposed the overt use of 'collection' to begin prepping end users to 
think about the Web UI as being more than a calendar. Once we have 
generic item support, you will clearly be able to put more stuff in 
this, um, collection of stuff, than just calendar events.
