Neat App, But Too Little Too Late?

I was looking for a good app that would allow me to do pretty much what Chandler claimed it offered - keep track of appointments and people, manage my tasks, todos and calendar items, and allow me to collaborate with others.


Unfortunately, I don't think Chandler is quite there yet. On my Mac, I found that Leopard's mail.app integration with iCal really has everything one would need. You can add on the Mail Tags (not free or OSS) plugin and you have everything that Chandler claims it offers. However, without having access to emails (unless you want to use Chandler for mail), it is just too little too late, in my opinion. Google Calendar and Gmail, or Mail.app and iCal will pretty much do what Chandler can, but on the Mac especially, the integration of Mail.app with your calendar pretty much has you all the way there.


The collaboration features seemed neat, but I really found most members on my 4-person team just moving back to emails for collaboration, since they were indexed, easy to search, easy to forward and left a 'paper' trail. For those looking for groupware - keep looking, until a stable version of Chandler is out.

Chandler: After Shifts in Focus, it's a Good Self-Organizing App

The story of the open source notebook and to-do manager application Chandler is a long and complicated one, as we covered here when it arrived in version 1.0. It was originally started as one of Mitch Kapor's projects, but Kapor (the founder of Lotus) left it, and it took on new life as a community-driven project for Windows, the Mac and Linux. Now available in version 1.0.2, it's a powerful mashup of to-do list tracking, tickler alarms, note tracking, calendaring and more. Collaborative workers can also use it together to brainstorm, share project, event and calendar items, and track milestones. Here's a look at how it works.



The Chandler Project: Not Dead Yet

The Chandler Project has been around for a long time. How long? Long enough for a book to be written about it; long enough to be used as a bad example of how to run a project; long enough to be cited as evidence that dynamic languages can't scale. And yet...despite setbacks and revisions, the project never went away. Last week, version 1.0 of the "note-to-self organizer" software shipped.



Open Source Apps For Homeschoolers

Fellow OStatic blogger Mike Gunderloy wrote a great post at Web Worker Daily about his family's experience homeschooling and working from home. In it, he gives some terrific tips about finding a balance between having structure and staying flexible.

As a homeschooling mom who also works full-time from home, there are a number of open source tools I rely on every day to teach my kids and keep us all on task, while keeping myself productive and (relatively) stress-free.
