General Software Discussion / Chandler the open source Note-to-Self Organizer - beautiful?

« on: September 05, 2008, 10:24 PM »

Expressing purely on essence of the conceptual vision (http://chandlerproject.org/vision): "It's wondrous - I can feel Love. I've never known it. Accompanied by fervor, I would take the match of Passion - strike it - and for all the scattered crap in this world, I would, I would in great relief, bundle it all, and I would set it on fire - to gaze as it burns.. in oh so beautiful bliss."

General Software Discussion / ***searching for an innovative organizer program - not the traditional types

« on: August 22, 2008, 11:18 PM »

hi, the organizer program would be _integrated_ and have a central place that is useful to look at. say we enter a bunch of tasks for monday, and part of those tasks aren't finish; then the program would remember whatever was leftover and flow it onto the next day and forever until all these tasks (and more that will be added) are complete.

sure, some program have to-do list, but that's not what im looking for - the to-do list is separate and disintegrated for the main daily view (with the times on the left side), which you could easily click on the right button and it shows you the next day, or likely better a slider and you can see at least a weeks view.

usefully customizable is something lacking in many traditional (outdated) organizer programs. a more minor point but there should be an "alert/urgent" section, where you enter atm tasks you jus received/recalled/etc. this section would be much more useful if it was movable within the main program so you could move it to the side to get a better view of the "main" oh this section would be relatively small without doubt since we don't need a large space for imminent tasks. if this window was scalable, all the better for those that need the flexibility.     

anyhow the flow of data/objectives/tasks/etc. to the next day is the most important function for the program. of course this is jus a fraction of the "ideal" concept, but basically a program that is not the same-old same-old "isn't something better than this piece of crap??"

adding in elements for project management program and applying them on the personal/individual level would be a beautiful thing. out of all the softwares in the world, surely there has to exist after all this time something remotely similar - or even better.

if anyone has any sort of helpful solution on any os (and i'll install that os), i'ld love to hear it.
