I get that, i hope that the thing with Sugar yields more interest for 
Chandler (and Sugar!). And, yep, sometimes you need to look outside your 
current focus to get recharged on what you are doing.

On another point entirely, i've downloaded the iPhone SDK and have been 
reading the Cosmo AtomPub API stuff, and wanted to know... If i start 
working on a _simple_ chandler app for the iPhone (allowing you to read 
notes), am i stepping on anyone else's dev-toes? I know you wrote the 
Chandler QE app (which is a great start for the iPhone)...

Thanks!
