MeetingMaker location parsing

Hi Folks,

When I demoed Chandler to a friend who uses MeetingMaker extensively, he
was generally quite positive, he noted that he tried using tasks in
MeetingMaker but the fact that they're in a different silo means he
never looks at them.

A few quick notes:

- My friend generally uses the calendar view that looks at a 4-5 day
window, he said he rarely wants to see what he did yesterday, he likes
this view because horizontal space is limited.

- MeetingMaker's integration with the Blackberry is very tight, my
friend probably couldn't do without this feature, which makes it
unlikely he'll be a serious Chandler user.

- My friend works at a university and he has meetings spread out all
over campus, so location is vital at-a-glance information for him.  In
MeetingMaker, events are displayed like:

Have lunch @ Joe's Bar

So events are displayed with location, and titles with an @ are
automatically parsed into title and location.

This seems like a pretty reasonable feature to me, should we consider
doing the same thing for entering and displaying location?

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
