[Chandler-dev] Question about README.<OS> files that get installed with Chandler

[Sheila Mooney]

I wanted to throw this out on the list for discussion. Currently when  
we install Chandler, a README.<OS>  file gets installed. In past  
releases, I have simply provided Bear with the text to go in such a  
file. Below, I have pasted what was in the README.osx for 0.6. The  
linux and windows versions were basically identical. As you can see,  
there isn't much info and we basically just provide a link to the  
launch page.

Once again, I am tasked with updating these files for Preview. I  
wanted to see if people thought we should simply keep this brief  
(like we have before) or consider adding more content in this file  
ie: description of product features and perhaps copying some content  
from the landing page in case people don't have internet access and  
can't get at the link. If we were to provide more info, what else  
should we consider putting in this file?

Thanks,
Sheila


Chandler README.osx
-------------------

* Compatibility *

Chandler only runs under Mac OSX 10.3 (Panther).

* Running Chandler *

To run chandler, first open the .dmg image and drag the Chandler  
application
icon to your desktop or somewhere else on your filesystem.

Next, double-click the Chandler application icon.  (If you try to  
doubleclick
on the Chandler icon without copying it from the .dmg disk image,  
Chandler
will give you a cryptic error.)

* Latest Release *

We have recently released 0.6, our experimentally usable calendar.
