Lotus 'Agenda' Returns as Open-Source 'Chandler'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the chander-fritz dept.

RobotRunAmok writes "Before there was Outlook, or Evolution, or The Brain, there was Lotus Agenda, a DOS-based Personal Information Manager created by Mitch Kapor. Wired is reporting that Kapor is throwing 5 Million USD at the Open Source Applications Foundation to create an open-source resurrection of this PIM-Of-The-Gods in the form of Chandler, available now as an alpha for Windows, Linux, and Mac. For the Agenda hardcore among us, it's as though Atlantis is rising..."

  1. Chandler has been out as an alpha for years... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative

    This story is ancient news. Chandler has been in alpha form for years. Real news would be when it's finally released.

      Absolutely right, 2 years ago this was promoted as a nailed on Exchange/Outlook killer and Python would become the defacto programming language, claims that look moronic now.

  3. Chandler is new code, not Agenda code by control+meta · · Score: 2, Informative

    You seem to misunderstand the situation.

    Chandler has very little in common with Agenda other than being a PIM. Certainly there is no Agenda code in it.

    I don't know what's news about Chandler today -- it's been in alpha for a while.
