In an effort to nail down performance goals for 0.7, we're conducting  
a survey to get a sense of how much data Chandler Dogfooders will  
have in the 0.7 timeframe. Please follow the instructions below and  
reply to this thread with:

1. The tool(s) you are using: Chandler, Apple iCal, Outlook, Omni- 
Outliner, Text file, etc.
2. The number of calendars and task lists you have
3. The number of items in each calendar and task list

If you're comfortable, please share the name of each calendar/task list.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHANDLER 0.6 CALENDAR DOGFOODERS*
1. From Chandler, export the calendar you want to compute to the  
Desktop.
2. From the command line**, type cd Desktop
3. Copy and paste: grep BEGIN:VEVENT your_filename.ics | wc -l
4. Edit <your_filename> to match the name of the calendar file you  
exported
5. Hit enter.

*This will only work for Mac users and Windows users with cygwin  
installed. Linux, please figure out moral equivalent.

**To get to the command line:
+ On Mac, launch the Terminal app
+ On Windows, launch Command Prompt

If you're also storing non-calendar items in Chandler today, please  
give an estimate of the number of non-calendar items you have:
a) Less than 100
b) 100-500
c) 500-1000
d) Over 1000

If you're NOT using Chandler, but use something else as a calendar  
and/or task list.

You can either follow the instructions above to count the number of  
events you have on your calendar, IF you can export in the iCalendar  
format; OR You can give us an estimate.

Thanks! :o)
