Chandler 0.1 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-dot-oh-dot dept.

kolchak writes "Very promising news is Chandler 0.1 (the Open Source PIM) has finally been released. 'While we are still very early in the design and implementation process, we intend for this 0.1 release to make us a more fully open project. We have made the release available for download, opened up our bug tracking database, and opened our source code repository.'" This is Mitch Kapor's attempt to offer an alternative to Microsoft Outlook, especially to small (under 100-person) organizations, last mentioned in December.

    Since I just managed to crash it.

    No virus propagation yet though, it is only 0.1 I suppose.

  4. Re:I tested the "windows version" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I immediately noticed that this is a non-standard windows application.

    The curse of wxWindows. You can right an application that runs on Windows 95, WindowsXP, Mac OSX, Gnome and KDE, but it won't comply with any of the user interface guidelines on any of them, but at least everyone will be confused equally and on all platforms at the same time.

    I'm already looking forward to the text editor 'Ross', the web browser 'Monica', the instant messenger 'Phoebe', the software DVD player 'Joey' and the P2P program 'Rachel'. :-)

    I'm more interested in testing Rachel 0.1, and to a lesser extent, Monica and Phoebe 0.1.
