[chandler-users] Is Chandler the Successor to Lotus Agenda?

[Mark A. Weiss]

Thanks Davor.

I was searching Lotus Agenda and found Mitch Kapor's weblog from 10/18/02 where he wrote:

"The product, which is central to the whole undertaking, is a new take on the Personal Information Manager. It will handle email, appointments, contacts and tasks, as well as be used to exchange information with other people, and do it all in the spirit of Lotus Agenda, about which more here and here. Agenda, for those who aren't familiar with it, was a DOS product I designed (along with Jerry Kaplan) in the late 1980's which introduced a new kind of database optimized for entering small items of information in a free-form manner, and then adding organizational categories on-the-fly. It was much beloved by a few, despite (or perhaps because) being abandoned by Lotus."

That search led me down the path to other postings that tied Agenda to Chandler.  OSAF changed direction somewhere down the line.  It's a shame because an open source program with Agenda capabilities would be an incredible asset.  I imagine that many of the current Agenda users would find it valuable too.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.

I don't think I've heard anyone from OSAF make that claim in the last 
five years, if not longer. See blog.osafoundation.org for their (I'm 
just a Chandler user, too) current vision and direction.
