[Chandler-dev] Feature Suggestion, Project Notes

Hey all,

I've been using Chandler for about a week, and really loving it. It's
definitely helped me get organized.

I have a feature suggestion though, a fairly major one, so it may not be
something you're interested in implementing but I thought I'd pass it along.
Basically I think it would be useful to have a special type of note called a
"Project Note." Project Notes would only show up in their own Project
section, available by clicking on an icon on the top menu bar. They would be
no different from regular notes, except they wouldn't have a triage status.

Then what users could do is associated specific normal notes with a project
note. Then when they clicked on that note, the project note would also show
up in the sidebar. I've attached a screenshot mockup.

Here's the user justification for this, using an example from my own life. I
had a tree fall on my house recently, so I've got lots of tasks related to
working with the insurance agency. Even though each of these tasks is
different there's alot of persistent information across all of them. My
claim number, my agents phone number, my contractors phone number, the
contractors estimate, the insurance estimate, etc. It would be nice if I
could tell Chandler that all the notes I create to deal with this are "Tree
Damage" Notes. Then I could have all that information stored in the "Tree
Damage" Project note, and I could view it from the details section of every
note I create.

The basic idea is to help store information that is persistent across a
number of notes, instead of copying again and again. What do you think?
