Chandler is supposed to follow the GTD paradigm

Andre keeps two items open all the time in separate windows:

The first is something he calls a “Bucket” item

The second is a GTD Projects List. Andre consults this list repeatedly throughout the day

GTD is not our single focus

Supporting knowledge work is. (Blog post coming soon.)

Chandler will continue to improve for GTD practitioners

2009-08-21 - Our Redwood City (SQL1) data center has had a power outage. (all times PDT) Most mission critical systems are up. If you know of something that's down, please send an email to hands @ isc . org . 7:45 pm - Power goes out - routing unavailable 8:40 pm - R1.SQL1 and firewalls back up - most equipment down 8:50pm - farside is back up - power to servers being restored as UPSs charge up 10:00pm - most machines are back up The work on our Redwood City data center is complete for now. Apart from the outstanding new router hardware issue, and some minor tidy-ups, the upgrades are now complete. We are currently working with our router vendor to diagnose the issues we had with our core router and will attempt cutting over to this again in future when these are resolved. A new F-Root node has recently been installed in Philipsburg, on the island of Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. If you are present at OCIX or going to be connected please setup peering with us there if you are not already doing so. You can use our web form for this. A new F-Root node has recently been installed in Frankfurt connected to the DE-CIX, so please setup peering with us there if you are not already doing so. You can use our web form for this. ISC's F-Root node in Munchen, Germany is currently partially down due to hardware failure. ISC is working on getting the node back up as soon as possible.

If an application continues to perform some function when the main window is closed, however, it may be appropriate to leave it running when the main window is closed. For example,

The vertical position should be visually centered

The distance from the bottom of the window to the top of the Dock (if it’s at the bottom of the screen) should be approximately twice the distance as that from the bottom of the menu bar to the top of the window

14. command-backspace (accelerated key combination for delete (Item)) 15. observe the flash of the Item menu — that might be a separate bug; should a command that is placed in the Item menu be effective for something (a collection) that is not an Item?

Remove and Delete mental model

Data integrity issues (aka repo getting corrupted)

Spheres (way to group collections)

Desktop Re-architecture Project

timeframe for a fully re-architected, usable Chandler Desktop

we decided to re-architect now

continue to support items in multiple collections in a first class way on the server, which in turn means that the web UI and future web widgets will handle this case elegantly as well :D

Information is the substance of their work and more information is the output of their work: Research, proposals, priorities, direction and decisions?

knowledge is gained and shared

how people actually work

file incoming email into one of those folders

Depending on which Chandler folder the email is in, when it gets retrieved and imported as a Chandler item, it will be stamped as a calendar event, email message, or task
