What is Chandler? (Chandler as a Product)
Chandler is an open source Note-to-Self Organizer. It features calendaring, task and note management and consists of a desktop application, web application and a free sharing and back-up service called Chandler Hub.
Our goal is to serve the way people actually work, independently and together, particularly in small groups, a market segment we believe is underserved. Our belief is that personal and collaborative information work is by nature iterative and that the existing binary Done/Not-Done, Read/Unread, Flagged/Unflagged paradigm in productivity software poorly accommodates the reality of how people work.
We are also committed to breaking down technological barriers that prevent effective collaboration. Chandler Desktop and Chandler Server are cross-platform and standards-based because we realize that collaboration can't and shouldn't be trapped within a single system. Chandler Server provides web access to shared information that makes it easy for collaborators to hook into Chandler workflows without having to download the Desktop application. from

Excellent book on the development of Chandler:
Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software
:Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:
from Amazon.com
In the 80s, Tracy Kidder's The Soul of a New Machine attempted to define the story of the development of a minicomputer: from the new science to the business and nascent culture of electronic hardware and software that was characteristic of that time. Scott Rosenberg's Dreaming in Code draws on Kidder's model as it attempts to document the state of software, the Internet, and everything circa 2006 through the lens of Chandler, an as-yet-unfinished software application for the management of personal information.

What a disappointment. All that effort, and the result appears to be a pretty good PIM/GTD application. That's a nice result, of course, but lightyears from what was promised, and a waste of a lot of development effort (it took a really long time to get there, and did we need another PIM/GTD app?).
Years ago I was hoping for an Outlook killer. I'd still love to find such a beast. Any sign of one on the horizon?

I just do not understand why they cannot support standard email client features as well? I need to use Thunderbird to accommodate that. Just creates one more layer of softwawre to get things done.
