All,

Mimi, John, Aparna and I met to discuss cleaning up some of the unused 
and/or disabled menu items in Chandler. Please note, that this is 
simply a clean-up proposal for 0.5. We realize some of this 
functionality will be fixed or working in 0.6 and beyond. John 
indicated that it was very easy to add these back in when they are 
necessary.

As far as the test menu is concerned, I know that many of you use some 
of the test menu items regularly. John and Aparna did a first pass on 
what we thought was still being used, so let us know if there is 
something we have removed incorrectly.

Please reply/comment by end of day Monday.

Current Proposal:

File Menu
* remove New Tab and Close Tab
* remove New Window and Close Window
* remove Preferences -> Profile and Sync (we could just have the 
Accounts under the File Menu)

Edit Menu
* change Delete to Remove

View Menu
* remove Columns
* remove Sort By
* remove Ad-hoc Collections items
* remove all items after (View Toolbar, View Sidebar, View Status Bar) 
items (check if Katie wants to keep Week View and Day View)

Test menu:
* Change Generate Content Items to Generate Data (to include 
Collections)
* Remove Generate Notes, Generate Calendar items, Generate Contacts
* Put these under a Share sub menu->Subscribe to collection, Share 
collection 'All', Sync collection 'All', Share tool
* Remove Get Mail
* Remove Log View changes
* Remove Log Repo History
* Club Repository things together in the test menu(Check Repository, 
Commit Repository)
* Remove some of the views from Add  Additional Views in the test menu 
(remove some of the stuff in Add views like Mixed view, note-kind view, 
contact-kind, task-kind, mail-kind etc)
