The current release of Chandler
builds upon the experimentally usable calendar
for individuals and small workgroups. It is a test
release for collecting feedback based on real usage.
In addition to basic calendaring, advanced features
include: recurring events; time-zones; overlayed,
multiple calendars; and managing a single event
across calendars.
Chandler offers innovative capabilities in calendar
sharing
to support workgroup collaboration. Chandler sharing is
server-based,
works across platforms and supports multi-author editing.
Our goal for our most recent release, 0.7alpha4, is to give a rough
sketch of what Chandler will be by our first Preview release (Spring
2007). This release introduces the Dashboard, which gives
users a runway view of all of their information. Users can try creating
a simple task list, and can share that list with others just as they can
share calendars. Users can also experiment with sending notes, tasks and
invitations to others via email.
