This might be a good step towards generally separating out what we display as a description of the item in the summary pane and what's technically in the 'Title' field in the detail view.

We should probably replace the Title column in the Table View with something more generic like Description?

When Katie did calendar usage interviews ages ago, she found that lots of users were stuffing all kinds of metadata manually into the Title field of their events:
+ Abbreviations for meeting attendees
+ Phone numbers!
+ Location

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,
