      I tend to find myself involved in: at one extreme, very many varied small tasks, which are recorded/archived then intentionally forgotten; and at the other extreme: projects about which thought extends months or even years later. Between the two extremes: for me, things are hazy.
  • the same workflow hiccups show up again and again
  • an information management environment with built-in workflows that mirror what people hack together
  • three basic workflows everybody seems to construct for themselves, regardless of what tools they use
  • varying degrees of complexity and automation
  • These three workflows however, need to exist independently of each other
  • no complicated rule-builder
  • push-button interface
  • always assume a need for iteration and change over time

      This is very thought-provoking.
  • Future
  • a well-defined end-user information model
  • by modeling the user experience around how people work today and the substance of that work, we can be more than just another software tool and instead aspire to be a system for information management: A smarter way to work. A better environment for collaboration
  • We want Chandler to be able to talk to other applications
  • As we make Chandler's end-user information model richer, the number of interesting applications to talk to will increase. This is one of the many areas where we hope that people in the community will help increase Chandler's ability to talk to other applications

      Reading the April 2007 date of this story alongside http://blog.chandlerproject.org/2007/04/18/preview-update/ and http://blog.chandlerproject.org/2007/09/11/preview/ it's clear that the version (probably a checkpoint) tested by Dave Jewell predated the 'preview' by around five months.
  • Chandler is still an awful long way off from that magic 1.0 release
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      The OSAF vision of Chandler originated around 2001. In 2007: the preview milestone version was certainly (but not disappointingly) some way away from the release. Chandler 1.0 was released in August 2008.

      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      CalDAV scheduling is just one aspect of CalDAV; see http://caldav.calconnect.org/standards.html
  • 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.

      IMHO the e-mail capabilities of Chandler 1.0.2 require special explanation. Some explanations are offered within the FAQ, http://www.diigo.com/annotated/faf93764c6f6f5eb9a29268ad4b472de
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      The number and nature of the special explanations, criteria and limitations of e-mail in Chandler Desktop make me think that 'Email' its sub-headings, as currently presented in 'Get Started', should not appear in Get Started.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      I suggest leaving references, from the Get Started page, to pages that are dedicated to: (1) an overview of e-mail in Chandler Hub and Chandler Desktop, and of limited communications with IMAP and POP servers; (2) using Chandler Desktop to configure an IMAP server, and understanding the workflows (in particular, the aspects that are one-way, periodic (Chandler Desktop sync) and incremental (the effect of adding messages to a Chandler-specific mailbox that was previously synced)); (3) e-mail in Chandler Hub; (4) e-mail in Chandler Deskop.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      Critically: the overview should contain no instructions on use; it should present, in pictures and in few words as possible, the current workflow and vision, plus maybe no more than one vision of the future.

Chandler FLOSS CalDAV

shared by Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08 - Cached
  • Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
     
    A most remarkable omission from the reviews on Amazon (and presumably, from the book) is: discussion of standards, such as those relating to CalDAV. OSAF/Chandler Project members made significant contributions to the drafting and setting of standards. Happily, we don't hear companies such as Apple or Google criticising Chandler Project history whilst embracing/enjoying CalDAV. I suspect that - however well written the book may be - a *focus* on a space in time (however short or long) has overlooked the broader value of the Project.
