[Chandler-dev] Chandler - GNUmed interaction

[Reid Ellis]

Hello Sebastian,

To run Chandler inside a tab would take some work, since there is  
code that creates the window, etc. I think it's only the top-level  
code that "knows" about the window though.

Chandler Desktop is extensible using Python plugins which can be  
distributed on Cheeseshop. Plugins can add new views and new data  
types using schemas defined in the plugin. More information is  
available here:
	http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/PluginsTutorial

A sample "HelloWorld" plugin is available here:
	http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/chandler/projects/ 
Chandler-HelloWorldPlugin/

There was also a recent thread on this mailing list that walked  
through writing a plugin that accesses items in Chandler (beware  
email line-wrapping, which caused a small problem!):

Chandler is definitely multi-user, via Chandler Server. Chandler  
hooks up with our instance of the server running at <http:// 
hub.chandlerproject.org>. You can download and run your own instance  
of Chandler Server. More information on Chandler Server is available  
from the download page:
	http://chandlerproject.org/Developers/DownloadChandlerServer

All of this and much more can be discovered through Chandler's web  
page at <http://chandlerproject.org> and the wiki <http:// 
chandlerproject.org/wikihome>.

Hope this helps!
Reid
