      To me, this behaviour feels extraordinarily weird. I need to understand the rationale.

      Choice of accelerator keys must be careful.

  • There is NO such thing as a right answer
  • Technologies change
  • many UI design principles are at least on the surface, directly contradictory
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • the same piece of software has to serve all
  • sometimes diametrically opposing
  • Different users have different needs

  • users change
  • Don't assume people like, need, want to do things in a particular order
  • Don't overwhelm users with too many options
  • iterative process

The Chandler Project Blog » Blog Archive » What makes a Task a Task? - 0 views

  • Star isn’t so much a replacement for Tasks
  • trouble figuring out when to call something a Task
  • distinction between a task or todo
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • substance of the task
  • increasingly blurred
  • what’s a thought *about* a task
  • what’s a task
  • inspired by user feedback
  • starred items (furtively used as tasks)
  • users who regarded *everything* they put into Chandler as a task, thereby rendering a specialized “Task Label” superfluous
  • Modeling “Task-ness” well is critical to both workflow and usability in Chandler so rest assured that we will continue to work through it!

The Chandler Project Blog » Blog Archive » Next Steps for the Task Stamp - 0 views

  • don’t understand the point of marking some of my Notes as Tasks
  • proposal for extending the range of Item Kinds in Chandler
  • re-instate Tasks
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • extremely basic notion of Contacts
  • Reference Kind
  • don’t propose this instead of the Now/ Later/ Done system, but adjunct to
  • enter deadlines
  • see my tasks organized by those deadlines
  • and not necessarily a “to do” item
  • compilation of reference information
  • a configurable Chandler would be the most scalable solution
  • NOTES or REFERENCE feature would be useful
  • keep track of “reference material” that you want to keep around forever, just in case

The Chandler Project Blog » Blog Archive » Thunderbird Plugin For Chandler - 0 views

  • plug-in would allow Thunderbird users to interface directly with the Chandler Hub
  • Is the idea of a plug-in to Thunderbird useful to the Chandler User base?
  • Will a plug-in help attract new users?
  •  
    On one hand: I'd prefer to see Chandler-oriented extensions to iCal and/or Mail in Mac OS X. On the other hand, extending key applications in that way could raise unrealistic expectations of what should be seen in (for example) Calendar in iPhone OS 3.0.
  •  
    http://n2.nabble.com/-tp2951656p2951656.html suggests a Chandler triage application for iPhone OS. I'd like to see comparable widgets for Dashboard in Mac OS X. I assume that such things could be at least partially portable to other platforms.

The Chandler Project Blog » Blog Archive » What is Chandler supposed to be... - 1 views

  • wider range of tools
  • workflows are knit together via a wide variety of interoperation techniques
  • Chandler is meant to live in the middle of all these tools
  • ...26 more annotations...
  • pull all the disparate bits and pieces of information
  • into a contextualized, personal and shared ’source of truth’
  • the user interface we have today
  • contains vestiges of the ‘old’ way of thinking
  • proceed to lighten-up the app so that it’s a more accurate reflection of what Chandler is meant to do
  • focus on the quick item entry bar
  • the way to create new items in Chandler
  • see the messages you sent/received from Chandler
  • less of a “Mail Application”
  • credibility as a useful product
  • huge amount of effort and $$ we need to expend to be acceptable as a complete email solution
  • trust is important
  • move my group’s calendaring over
  • my own TODOs
  • Hopefully contact/address book stuff is next
  • Mail, iCal, Address Book
  • all separate, all highly functional
  • no clutter
  • the roles of the programs aren’t confused
  • interfaces aren’t cluttered up but there’s a heck of a lot of functionality
  • deceptively simple
  • Enterprise CRM’s are too complex and can only be used effectively when connected
  • fundamental link up between people and events, complex tasks and so on
  • I may be using ‘workflow’ differently
  • a loose framework of usage patterns
  • workflow-centric designs that bridge silos

  • publish a calendar to a WebDAV server
    • Graham Perrin
       
      iCalendar publication
  • CalDAV is a protocol that allows fast (well, faster than WebDAV) multi-user access to calendars
  • Don’t try to delete a Hub calendar from within iCal
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 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)

Personal votes in OSAF Bugzilla - 0 views

  • 11696 Crash when any file is dragged into Chandler window if you have 2nd display
    • Graham Perrin
       
      As I most often work with a second display, for me this https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11696 is close to a blocker.
  • 11918 Support 'spheres' or groups of collections
    • Graham Perrin
       
      https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11918 may deserve priority thought/attention from any user who works with many collections.
  • 12474 alt-arrow key combinations must navigate text only; MUST NOT navigate other aspects of Chandler Desktop for Mac OS X
    • Graham Perrin
       
      https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12474 seriously retards my productivity and causes confusion, with potential loss/misplacement of data.
