Hi Pieter,
More feedback :)
I'm thinking about how we can tighten up the guide and make
instructions shorter. For example:
Importing existing data into Chandler
The best way to get your existing calendar events into Chandler is
to export the calendar to a standard .ics format file and then
import that file into Chandler. Note that this process is a one-
time operation to suck in existing calendars from other
applications that you will then continue to manage in Chandler.
This process is different than "subscribing" (@@@ link to Glossary)
to a calendar on a server and then using Chandler to synchronize
with the server to get updates. See Chapter 6: Collaborating with
others for information on how to subscribe to online calendars.
...could be pared down to...
Import your calendar into Chandler
If you currently use Outlook, Apple iCal, Google, Yahoo or Hotmail
for calendaring, you can export your events in iCalendar format as
an .ics file and import them into Chandler.

4. <Do we need to call out every option in the dialog?Do you expect
users to be confused about the checkboxes?>
<We should however, explain that you can either import calendars as a
new collection OR add them to existing Chandler collections.>
6. <Should we explain what it means to have the appropriate Triage
label. I think we can just say have been triaged according to when
they occur. We never actually refer to Triage as a tag.>
I'm not sure we need to compare the Chandler and iCal version of the
calendar. I think most users will assume that data isn't lost :)
