[Last call] Re: [General] [Proposal] Product Description for Landing Page

[Mimi Yin]

Unless there are any concerns with the proposed product description,  
I would like to close the discussion by end of day today and add the  
proposed copy to the Landing Page, Wiki Homepage and Product Wiki  
Area Homepage.

Landing Page: http://chandlerproject.org/pub/Journal/ 
NonCodeList20070131/Preview_landing_page_20070522.png

Wiki Homepage: http://chandlerproject.org/Product/ChandlerProjectHome

Product Homepage: http://chandlerproject.org/Product/WebHome

Mimi :D

Run with it. For people who use their Inbox as their task list,  
Chandler picks up where your Inbox leaves off.

Manage everything from a central Dashboard. Stay focused without  
losing track of the things you can't get to right away. Tickle items  
to cycle back into focus automagically.

Schedule meetings and events across multiple calendars.

Send, edit and update messages to work with others on specific tasks.  
Share Dashboards and Calendars that are integrated into your personal  
work space yet easily accessible to others on the web.

Chandler consists of a desktop client and Chandler Hub, a sharing  
service and web application. Chandler is open source and standards- 
based.

Our goal for Preview is to test drive Chandler and collect feedback  
that will in turn, guide our efforts to a more robust and responsive  
1.0!
