Wanted: Calendar/to-do manager with special repeat patterns (for students)

<< < (2/8) > >>

cmpm:
try coordinating it with e-mail

this is the closest i can find

http://chandlerproject.org/

could be way off, but it's certainly different

tinjaw:
Would this be something you would want to be added to HowLong2It? Would anybody else? If there is need/demand for it, I can probably add it in a few weeks time. I am too busy now.

alxwz:
tinjaw, thanks for this offer, but I don't think that the UI and the concept behind HowLong2It match this task very well.
So even if you would create an easy entry method for the recurrence pattern, the result would be of limited use.
HowLong2It seems to serve a very different purpose.

Personally, I would be intimidated if I had to look on too much of my curriculum at once.
IMO there had to be a day or at least a week view (or a way to at least filter it down to today or the next seven days) to clearly see the task at hand.

@ cmpm:
I don't quite understand what you were suggesting. The original request was meant for a single-user scenario, so email probably has no role here.
From what I've seen from Chandler, it has only the usual recurrence patterns.
But maybe I missed something.

cmpm:
Well you can e-mail yourself for mainly and what I was thinking.
These solutions seem to be for groups, but I think it would work for an individual also.
Since you can e-mail yourself with the same e-mail program or using two e-mail programs-which I don't think would be neccessary but could help with organizing.
I came across that program in a related search.

Here's another search-

adding outlook comes up with some interesting results also-

Scheduling e-mails is different then having a recurring appointment calendar.

For e-mails you can be a lot more flexible in setting up a schedule then in just a calendar program.
If one can get the e-mail to do the schedule you want.
I do believe it's not limited to daily, weekly, monthly, etc....
I haven't played with any e-mail programs in this light.
But the search results seem to be that e-mail is very flexible concerning scheduling.
