Color me convinced enough that I'm willing to see it in action!
Also, regarding the original discussion wrt add/delete for 0.9:
Unless anyone is -1 I'm going to do this in the easiest way I can see
for now given the time constraints. Once we have something it will be
much easier to talk about, and we can reconsider the design at that
point.

memory alone should remind me that it's not available there thus
necessitating a trip to the Item menu. Context menus on the Hub
would be
great in that users would be able to apply their common usage patterns
within the Chandler suite regardless of infrastructure.

Like a right click context menu? How would that work? Are you
suggesting catching the right click event and not popping the normal
browser context menu? I always find that ugly and not what I want,
but I suppose I'd be open to being convinced otherwise.
I'm not normally in favor of the right-click in Web apps either,
although I suspect more than a small part of that is my developer hat
talking (not wanting something to keep me from getting to the
right-click browser menu).
As long as it's not trapping right-click for the entire page, and
it's
confined to specific, obvious parts of the UI (the Collection
Selector, the lozenges), I think it might be workable.
We got fairly consistent commentary from the FLOSS Usability Sprint
that a context menu could be really helpful for certain common
actions. Granted, it's UX people talking, not normal end-users, but
the feedback was pretty universal.
