Tonight, for the first time I played with the chandler hub in conjunction with chandler.
It was not at all obvious how to get items in chandler to show up on the hub. One thing I think could be improved is the fact that the share menu is not clearly associated with collections. The reason this is not clear is because you have separated the "verb" from the "direct object". The share menu is not seemingly associated with anything in particular. What I would suggest is that the actual verbs associated with collections be placed next to the collections. This might be a pop up menu knob associated with each collection in the sidebar. You click on this and get a drop down of sharing and other option like delete, etc. The idea is to make it clear that there are things that you can do to collections, and what they are. I realize that the current design is for the share menu to operate on the "current" collection, but this requires the use to build a model in their head of the concept of "currency". This requires a cognitive understanding of an abstract concept with no clear on screen hinting. Given the number of things going on on the screen, I think this would be difficult to achieve, and so I think the "verb attached to object" method makes this whole thing much easier to understand.
