Let me explain - for many years I have been thinking about how to organize
information.
I like the idea of small fragments of information that mutate and change. I
have looked
at the tiddly wiki and then bumped into chandler. I also have my own ideas
on
finding similar data in masses of information.

I quickly hacked together a web front-end similar to
https://hub.chandlerproject.org/pim
The letter web interface is surprisingly intuative. I did however have a
few design questions:

1) What is the underlying data model of an entry in the to do list

   I can see that entries have

   - a collection (ie which collection they belong to)
   - a star
   - a title
   - an author
   - a starts on date
   - a text

(ie in javascript/JSON

   {collection:'foo', star:false, title:'....', author:'.....', ...}
)


But what else? Do they have a GUID (Global Id)?

2) What about ordering - is the NOW ordered (for example) random, or what?

3) is history preserved - can I roll back to an earlier time

4) Do entries have parents?

etc.

These are all design questions.

I originally wanted to keep the front-end and re-implement the backend -
but the
front-end used the dojo framework and life is too short to learn everything
- so I hacked
together some HTML/jquery stuff that more or less replicates the hub
version.

I just pushed it to
