Chandler 1.0!
August 8th, 2008 at 1:47 pm (3 months, 2 weeks ago) by Mimi Yin under Chandler Product News, Chandler ProjectWe are pleased to announce the release of Chandler 1.0, a “Note-to-Self Organizer” designed for personal and small-group task management and calendaring.
Chandler consists of a desktop application and Chandler Hub, a free sharing service and web application. You can also download and run your own Chandler Server.
Chandler is open source and standards-based.
What’s different about Chandler?
Chandler aims to provide a more integrated approach to managing information with:
- A Quick Entry Bar to enter everything from ideas to reminders and appointments.
- NOW-LATER-DONE Triage List to collect, process and track everything from deadlines and meetings to drafts and ideas.
- Tickler Alarms to auto-re-focus deferred (LATER) items to NOW
- An integrated, full-featured calendar designed for tracking meetings and events and tasks and deadlines.
- Back-up and Sharing: Manage personal and shared lists and calendars side-by-side. Back-up to the Chandler Hub sharing service, sync with other calendar apps and services, and sync your data across multiple computers and access it from the web.
- Lightweight integration with Email.
You can download Chandler Desktop, sign up for a free Chandler Hub account and get a tour of the product. Check out the source. And get involved in the project as we set our sights on growing our community. And send your feedback and questions to: chandler-users@osafoundation.org or chat with us on IRC!
We look forward to hearing from you!

[…] August 11th, 2008 (11:00am) Mike Gunderloy No Comments The Chandler Project has a long history: it was started up in 2002, with backing from Mitch Kapor, as an attempt to create a cutting-edge PIM application. Over the years, the project became the butt of jokes for its inability to actually ship anything, and earlier this year Kapor pulled his backing. Thus I was quite surprised to run across the announcement, late last week, that Chandler 1.0 had actually shipped. […]

Please fix the email issue.
It is not working.
I have to copy stuff from outlook to chandler by hand!
If you should do only on thing in you life please do that,
at least let us download email within the task list, and we’ll deal with it,
but now, the current situation is just not usable.
Anything that would bring emails into my chandler box will be good.

“I think it is important to mention that Chandler was simultaneously launched in five different languages”
Not to mention both Python and Java. Yay!

i’m trying to install Chandler 1.0 @ Ubuntu but getting libicu36 dependency error. Can’t try it myself. But the product seems to be very promising.
best wishes,
Alex
August 19th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Hi Alex,
The problem you’re running into has to do with Ubuntu changing the icu library they ship with between version 7 (Gutsy) and version 8 (Heron). Version 7 ships with libicu36 and Version 8 ships with libicu38. We currently support libicu 36 in the Chandler .deb install.
To remedy this situation, you can either:
1 Use the .tar.gz download instead of installing a .deb; or
2.Download and install libicu36
- Opening the resulting file should launch GDebi package installer
- Then install the Chandler .deb
Let us know if you run into any more problems!
Mimi

Hi, Mimi
running from .tar.gz doesn’t solve the problem as it gets several python problems.
Will try to install libicu36 and then reinstall chandler.
regards,
Alex
PS
the most confusing is that deb package says it need libicu >= 3.6 but libicu 3.8 doesn’t help. Hope you can fix this fast to ease the life.
