I DL this when it was much newer than this; not nearly as nice as it is now. It's gotten much better since then. The inbox concept is different and I think they have better direction now.

I found this when I was looking to switch off of Outlook. My main issue is that this has been very slow in development. Updates don't come regular enough, but I encourage them to keep going, it looks great!

This seems ok to me. Don't know what all the poisonous personal attacks on the developers are for.

This is an OK calendar program, but the glaring deficiency for this PIM is the absence of contact management. Look to Time & Chaos for a real PIM.

The world does not end at the shores of the United States.

The authors of this program would do well to bear this in mind.

Like Wikipedia, this programme is too Americanised to be useful. I also fail to see what is so revolutionary about it.

What a bunch of baloney ! The idea that this is revolutionary is a joke. Try it and see. This thing is as outdated as Mitch Kapoor (who funded it out of his pocket and who "leads" the "team"). Look at the developers - a bunch of losers headed by an incompetent egoist. No wonder it is really nothing after all the hype.

A nice beginning and usable for people who don't already have something better, but it's so ridiculous to suggest that this competes with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange that the project FAQ itself states: "Chandler is not a full-fledged email client. Do not expect to be able to replace your current email application..."

@Arnvid:

Did you, I dunno, go to the website and do any actual RESEARCH about the product? You clearly didn't, otherwise you would have mentioned that this is shaping up to be a fully opensource replacement to Outlook, Exchange Servers, and many of the other more advanced features of Outlook that most other mail clients, particularly the free ones (I'm looking at you, Thunderbird) are woefully lacking in.

Thus, your uninformed review is pointless and moot.

As always, positive downloading and testing - but the question soon came sneaking: "so what". I can't find anything remotely close to "potentially revolutionary" in this program, same "hour set-up" of day events as last year ... It would be potentially revolutionary if it had a combination of hour defined events and events in general that just had a deadline that day (day, not hour priority) - and combined with general tasks not related to hours or dates, but to priority. Most have that mixture of tasks in their real life, and I guess all would like know about all these in one window rather than having a separate program or setup for each. At least that would give a more reasonable reason for using a word as revolutionary. That just being one example, still I give Chandler one point for being open source, and a second for the name Chandler which makes me think about Philip Marlowe going around asking himself "so what?"

what a messy bunch of crap - for those who don't want their machines screwed up, better wait until they learn how to program - for those who seriously want to improve their personal management system - better pass

Seems like a promising start to a potentially revolutionary (yes, a complete open source alternative to Outlook would be potentially revolutionary) app. Frankly, I remember the infancy of Phoenix (what we now know of as Firefox) being just as buggy and hard to really enjoy using.

The interface is a good start, but needs some really QA. Also, when I run the program in full screen on my 1920X1440 resolution monitor, the UI doesn't even stretch all the way.

The menus are indecipherable.

The colors are amateurish.

The idea is noble, and, with proper investment and community support, this could be a great app.
