[Chandler-dev] Can we change the When column behavior for events with alarms?

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Keith,

May I ask, what kind of information would you like to be able access  
from  mobile device? We are considering a number of "workarounds",  
but none yield 100% data fidelity.

For example:

1. Hub sends out an email at the start of every day with a list of  
"upcoming" events and reminders + list of "NOW" items. (Just titles  
and dates, no notes.)

2. Hub will sync all non-event Chandler items as VTODOS so that you  
can get Chandler Notes into calendar clients/services that support  
the VTODO standard and then sync your data onto your mobile device  
from there. (Non-standard attributes like Triage Status, Star will be  
lost.)

The only app that supports both subscribing to calendars and vtodos  
and syncing with mobile devices is Apple iCal. Are there any others  
for which this workflow would work?
