Lack of a PDA story makes us a non-starter for a lot of people. The
problem is that there is probably no good cross platform way to do
this. It seems to me that the shortest path involves seeing if we
could write import/export plugins that could talk to platform native
services (such as Sync Services on OS X) which already know how to
talk to PDAs.
+1 but I could wait for the 1.0 release for this one to get implemented.
The concept of Chandler is greater than the sync with a PDA though for
the 1.0 or at least 1.1 is a must I believe
We need to learn how to develop more than one application area at a
time. If we are only able to focus on on application area per
release, then we are never going to finish. I think that it is
pretty important to make some progress on e-mail in 0.7.
I agree on the progress of email, it´s one of the pillars of Chandler
The advantage of shorter releases is that there are more opportunities
for us to get feedback. There are also more sync points which can be
helpful when you need to co-ordinate with another project, like
Cosmo. The disadvantage is that we do more work to qualify and do
the release endgame. While I am glad for all the work that we have
accomplished in 0.6, I would have preferred two releases closer
together. However, I also think that we didn't have the resources to
pull that off, without further impacts to the schedule.
+1 from an user point perspective. Shorter dev cycles = more excitement
about the product
We must learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. Our goal is not
just a calendar, not just an e-mail client, not just a task list, not
just a contact manager, but something that encompasses all of these.
+1 this is what Chandler is bout. In any way one can be of help, please
let me know.
We need to begin to find ways to attract people outside of OSAF to
help us. It's not just that we want to be "a good open source
project". We need the help.
Sorry I don´t do programing Ted, but on the rest count with me if it
means progress.
