Chandler, a next-generation Personal Information Manager (PIM) i. What is alpha4 ?
Alpha 4 is our first Dashboard release. The Dashboard[1] is in part, inspired by GTD methodology and many of David Allen's insights into the problems with the ways in which people process information and get too easily sidetracked from important tasks in today's interruption-prone information workplaces. The Dashboard is the runway view of all of your information. The closest thing users have to a Dashboard today is their email client Inbox. In addition to incremental improvements to calendaring and sharing, our goal in this release is to deliver a rough sketch of what Chandler will be by our first Preview release, which is scheduled for Spring of 2007. In terms of functionality, this means: a basic framework for triage workflows support for lightweight information processing and rudimentary communications.

Chandler, a next-generation Personal Information Manager (PIM) i. MynoteIT - An online note taking tool for. Geek to Live: Take study-worthy lecture n. Notetaking Software Roundup #1 - DonationCoder.com. Surfulater Surfulater is a program that started as a web-capturing and referencing tool and eventually made its way into the notetaking genre (it's only natural, after all).
Surfulater is significantly different in it's interface than most other notetaking programs. Most of the programs discussed in this thread are notetaking programs at heart and were so from the beginning. For Surfulater, notetaking is just one of its functions, but not it's primary function. As mentioned before, Surfulater is a content-capturing (including web) and referencing tool, and it does this better than any other program in the notetaking genre. One of Surfulater's greatest strength's is it's automation of repetitive tasks. Which brings me to my favorite part of Surfulater, its tree structure. Furthermore, in Surfulater, you can copy individual notes, and the copies will actually be "clones" where they are still the same note but in different locations (i.e. you change one clone, and they all change). Nine Questions for Mitch Kapor.
By chromatic 06/16/2003 Mitch Kapor heads the Open Source Applications Foundation, the group behind Chandler.
His OSCON keynote will explore whether and how collaborative development can bring open source software to the desktop. Mitch kindly agreed to a short interview as a teaser for his talk at this July's OSCON 2003. O'Reilly Network: The GNU project started from the ground up, and Linux distributions started from the installation forward. Chandler is a PIM, which fits right in with your history.
Mitch Kapor: The short answer is that: PIM's have become really important, especially email I could envision better tools than what I had to use personally I saw there were needs for small businesses to have a simple alternative for shared calendars and collaboration There's more detailed info in my weblog, especially in Origins of the Open Source Applications Foundation and You're Making a What?. ORN: Chandler uses a lot of open technologies and protocols, including RDF, LDAP, and Jabber.
