(cc:ing design list)
Hi Phil
Glad you asked!
I did a quick search of bugs that mention 'Quick Item Entry' and got
this:
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/buglist.cgi?
query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=quick
+entry&product=Chandler&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc
_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr
&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=NEW&bug_
status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=subst
ring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=
substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldt
o=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last
+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=
My personal top 3 are:
1. Display the default kind of item the quick entry field creates in
each app area. In all, it's a note, in mail is a message, etc. Today
we display the same hint text: 'Create new item' across all app
areas. It'd be nice to be able to change the hint text: 'Create new
note / message / task / event' as you switch app areas. https://
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8306
2. Auto-complete dropdown. Darshana and I talked a lot about having a
drop down of command options as soon as you type into the quick entry
field. https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9916
If you decide to take this on, we should probably have a kick-off
meeting to get on the same page. Some of these designs may be out of
date.
3. Currently if you create a new event with no event date/time info,
you get an @time event starting *and* ending right now. We should
probably follow the same rules we follow when creating new events
from the New button in the toolbar or the New menu item. (We usually
create a 1 hour long event starting now-ish, rounded to the next 15
minute increment.) Jeffrey can fill you in on this.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Hi Mimi,
I am one of the Google Summer of Code students, being mentored by
Jeffrey Harris. I am currently looking for some of the bugs for
quick entry parsing, and Jeffrey suggested that you might have a
good idea of what some of the problems are.
If you have any bugs in this area that I can investigate, please
let me know because I would be very interested in investigating
some of these bugs.
Thanks,
