Invitation to Google Wave in exchange for development of one simple web page - 0 views

  • A plain HTML/JavaScript page, functionally equivalent to QE widget for iGoogle
  • BRIBERY
  • invitations (nominations) for Google Wave
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • shameless BRIBERY
  • The page should ideally:
  • a) work well without a mouse
  • b) when re-purposed: fit neatly into a widget, not too large
  • c) be tactile
  • let's not treat (c) as an obstacle
  • if Google Wave Preview is not the bribery you want, then I might find something more interesting, less nebulous
  • someone from Apple will read this post and send me a future-device

  • 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

The Chandler Project Blog » Blog Archive » How do you use the Chandler Das... - 0 views

  • the Dashboard purely as a place to collect new notes, an “intake” area
  • collections must be initially kept out of the Dashboard
  • everything that could possibly be worked on right now needs to be in one place. I use the Dashboard to answer the question, ‘what should I work on next’. Every Collection is in the Dashboard
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 30 going at a time
  • a cross-collection view of all their data where the could process items regardless of what collections
  • what’s new across all of your collections without having to click on individual collections one-by-one
  • Dashboard collection in Chandler
  • ground for experimentation
  • no way to view items that are in the Dashboard but not in any other collections
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I did wish for this in the early days, but in practice I don't require this type of view.
  •  
    Interesting use cases.

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.

[chandler-users] Chandler Losing All Data - 0 views

  • no choice to Save
    • Graham Perrin
       
      The absence of (non-requirement for) a Save command should be explained in terms that are user-friendly.
    • Graham Perrin
  • re-open a previously used file
    • Graham Perrin
       
      The value of the automated and manual routines outlined at http://n2.nabble.com/-td2109816.html should presented in a user-friendly way.
    • Graham Perrin
  • different metaphor being used here with this program, one unlike any i've ever encountered before in using other programs. But what is it?
    • Graham Perrin
       
      Without paying attention to database technologies, the easiest comparison might be with iTunes. Concerning the Save command, in the File menu: iTunes has no need for this, the application simply works. To users, the absence of a Save command is unremarkable.

  • I was able to restore them one time by using Time Machine on my Mac
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I wonder which file(s) Michael chose to restore.

      Suggestion, for harmony with iCal 3.0.6 (1273): Ctrl+Shift+T
    • Graham Perrin
       
      Ctrl+G is more commonly associated with find aGain
  • Ctrl+T
    • Graham Perrin
       
      A good choice.

  • hierarchies has been the designated one size fits all solution to all our organizational needs
  • we break our semantically pure hierarchies by overstretching their bounds
  • we end up with messy hierarchies that are unusable and unmaintainable

Chandler Wiki : The Nature Of Tags - 0 views

  • Tags multiply like rabbits!
  • Tags make items look like they're multiplying like rabbits
  • the ability to assign more than 1 tag to an item
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • becomes a cognitive quagmire when it comes time to get a grip on the scope of your data
  • ramplant multiplication of items showing up in multiple tag-groups can make a mountain out of a mole hill of data
  • Tags don't actually help you understand your data better
  • hierarchies visualize degrees of separation
  • in Tagsonomies, all neighbors are created equal
  • If what you're looking for doesn't exist in the tag or the intersection of tags you're currently looking at, you're out of luck
  • Without a visualization tool, tags are just as dumb if not dumber than hierarchies
  • 2 kinds of relationships
  • tags are either Related or Not related
  • Tagsonomies are too flexible for their own good
  • Some of the MIT Haystack studies asked users to "tag" URLs they found on the web with keywords
  • many of the users began to feel like the whole process pointless
  • they find it pointless to apply the keywords after a while
  • Tags are too generic
  • The notion of "related tags" is too generic
  • Tags are unable to store important metadata about both our data and the relationships that govern and structure that data
  • Tagged data sets quickly explode beyond human ability to extract narrative and scope from the data

Chandler Wiki : Chunking Over Time - 0 views

  • no apparent rhyme or reason for the way in which sub-folders and sub-sub-folders are arrayed, making it difficult for you to predict as you navigate through each level of the hierarchy, what sub-levels will appear. It also makes the hierarchy as a whole, difficult to grok once you opened up a few branches of the hierarchy. You're presented with an array of relationships and no easy way to chunk them down
    • Graham Perrin
       
      Fine criticism of a hierarchy.

A Quick Look at Chandler | Linux Journal - 0 views

  • think about your things first, get them scribbled down and then organize them
  • no problem, for example, putting an existing note into multiple lists and/or multiple types of lists
  • what if the people I want to share things with don't run/don't want to run Chandler?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • URLs for things you share. One is for read-only access and the other for read/write

Chandler Wiki : Zero Point One Email 20060508 - 0 views

  • Pull down emails that have special headers
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I don't understand this point.
  • one-time import of an Inbox
  • Proposed Plan
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • Email support for collaboration workflows
  • DnD from select email clients
  • One-time download of new mail with special Chandler headers
    • Graham Perrin
       
      Is this implemented in 1.0.2?
  • One-time download of new mail from select IMAP folders
    • Graham Perrin
       
      My sense is that this is implemented in 1.0.2.
  • Set up IMAP server
  • allow users to move email from their existing email account to the desktop
    • Graham Perrin
       
      In 1.0.2 I suspect that e-mail is copied (not (copied then deleted) moved).
  • provided they are on the same machine
    • Graham Perrin
       
      Can we more clearly define 'same machine'?
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I see no requirement for IMAP client and Chandler Desktop to be on the same computer. IMAP client at computer A communicates a user-initiated move of a message to one of three Chandler Desktop-specific IMAP mailboxes. Chandler Desktop at computer B performs a one-time download from those three mailboxes.
  • early adopter, metrotechnicals as experimental email users
  • One-time download of new mail from IMAP
  • Basic message composition
  • Required features for supporting collaboration workflows
  • Reply, reply all, forward
  • Send and receive
  • rich text editing
  • draft, queued, sent, read, unread, needs reply, replied to, forwarded
  • email status column
  • Email threading support
  • overall clustering solution
  • stamping communications workflows
  • Features not targeted for 1.0
  • Drag and drop emails and attachments from other email clients

    I wish to offer feedback and suggestions relating to design/UI of Chandler Hub and Chandler Desktop. To me, it's not clear which of the two lists - chandler-users or chandler-dev - should be addressed.
