>From the web site: Our product (code-named "Chandler" after the great detective novelist Raymond Chandler,) is a Personal Information Manager (PIM) intended for use in everyday information and communication tasks, such as composing and reading email, managing an appointment calendar and keeping a contact list. Because of the ease with which Chandler users can share information with others, Chandler might be called the first Interpersonal Information Manager. (The term PIM was first used in conjunction with the product Lotus Agenda in the 1980's. Chandler is the spiritual descendant of Agenda (and has a common designer in Mitch Kapor.) Recent open-source groupware products and projects (Evolution, Kroupware) use Outlook as the baseline for design and functionality. This approach benefits users because it's familiar, but it doesn't take design risks that could have big payoffs for users in power and simplicity. We're trying to rethink the PIM in fundamental ways and we expect to be judged in terms of our success in achieving that goal. We're building the product by using up-to-date architectural components such as peer-to-peer networking, integrated instant messaging, and an RDF-compatible semantic database, and we're not saddled with legacy code. At the same time, we'll be fully compliant with a variety of open standards, such as iCal, vCard and the Jabber protocol. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 with bunk-1 packages by Adrian Bunk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux matilda 2.4.20-openmosix-1 #2 SMP Tue Mar 25 15:20:00 CET 2003 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
