[chandler-users] First impressions

[Yorgos Pagles]

Hi,
a little background first: I work as a software engineer in a company
that has clients all around the world. My collaboration activities
include cooperating with small development teams, preparing
specifications, providing feedback to clients.

After a few weeks of heavy usage of Chandler Preview (I have also used
previous releases but I don't think that they count) as mainly a task
list I am delighted with the whole triage idea as it is a very simple
and yet effective and powerful way of keeping focused in the most
important of the gazillions of taks that require my attention without
worrying that I will neglect the not so urgent ones. Stamping my tasks
as calendar events comes in handy as a specific task can include
setting up a meeting etc.

What I miss:
* Using Chandler desktop through proxies. I have followed the
respective issue in bugzilla and I have seen that it is resolved.
There is a little catch there: I will have to use the proxy to get to
my account in the hub but not use the proxy to get my company email
(if it is hopefully needed, see my next point).
* Getting email from my company account (exchange server and also pop
access) and marking them as tasks. The part in the email spec that
describes setting up a local IMAP server and from my email client drop
any received with POP email I need in the specified folders of the
IMAP account is just fine, but I don't know what's the progress on
this issue.
* The starter project "integration with bugzilla" you have in your
wish list would be for me "integration with issue trackers" as we
don't use bugzilla but some other issue tracker. You should know that
most developers' main collaboration tool is their issue tracker. I
think that I could help with this one if there are any thoughts /
previous work available.

These are my first "wish I had them" for Chandler desktop in order of
importance for my day to day usage of Chandler.

Regards,
Yorgos
