schedule for Today

don't lose track

browse your calendar

without having to actually go to your calendar

No data should be lost, but it’s a hassle

iCal doesn’t allow ticket based CalDAV subscriptions

access without a username or password

read-access to the calendar (which is all that’s possible with WebDAV)

the URL of collections

or ordinary collections that have child or descendant calendar collections

C:calendar-home-set is provided on user principal resources

if a resource (1.ics) contains a VEVENT, it must always contain a VEVENT until the resource is removed.

even more useful as that user pulls in other people to collaborate

We want happy users be successful evangelists for Chandler

web widgets that might be deployed in different contexts — iGoogle, Facebook, on an iPhone, etc.

widgets should be compelling to a new user who does not use the desktop, in addition to providing features that complement the desktop. Eventually, the widgets can be building blocks

misperception in the press

Being a CalDAV reference implementation is not a priority.

the Microsoft product with the most overlap with our design objectives is probably OneNote

web widgets (in the browser, on mobile devices and on the desktop)

not trying to be a GTD specific tool

Chandler’s philosophy is different enough from GTD that it would be misleading to call Chandler a GTD tool

Our best articulation of our core value to date is: Chandler is a way to manage and collaborate on ideas using: A List View built around the idea of the Triage Workflow A Calendar View Chandler Hub Sharing Service

the user problem we are serving is an emerging market

there isn’t a shared, public vocabulary to describe what we’re doing

Better product messaging so that people understand what ‘user problem’ we’re trying to solve and how we’re trying to solve it.

more ways to get data in and out

we will not be implementing CalDAV scheduling

We’re not looking to be a cheaper alternative to Outlook/Exchange. This means we’re not investing in support for free/busy-style scheduling. We’re not looking to be the ‘everyman’s’ version of Microsoft Project or Bug and Ticket-Tracking systems. This means we’re not investing in support for complex task and project management, e.g. task dependencies, tracking percent done, time estimates, robust support for assigning tasks, etc. We’re also not going to be implementing the GTD methodology.

Most people are using Chandler exclusively for tasks and calendars

Every time Chandler syncs with the email server

it checks for any new messages in one of the Chandler folders

even though it remains in the folder it is only imported once into Chandler
