Hi Folks,
When I demoed Chandler to a friend who uses MeetingMaker extensively, he
was generally quite positive, he noted that he tried using tasks in
MeetingMaker but the fact that they're in a different silo means he
never looks at them.
A few quick notes:
- My friend generally uses the calendar view that looks at a 4-5 day
window, he said he rarely wants to see what he did yesterday, he likes
this view because horizontal space is limited.
- MeetingMaker's integration with the Blackberry is very tight, my
friend probably couldn't do without this feature, which makes it
unlikely he'll be a serious Chandler user.
- My friend works at a university and he has meetings spread out all
over campus, so location is vital at-a-glance information for him. In
MeetingMaker, events are displayed like:
Have lunch @ Joe's Bar
So events are displayed with location, and titles with an @ are
automatically parsed into title and location.
This seems like a pretty reasonable feature to me, should we consider
doing the same thing for entering and displaying location?
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
