Thanks to John. I agree 100% that the UI should be intuitive. <http://www.diigo.com/063mi> and <http://www.diigo.com/063mj> present highlights from documentation for Chandler 2. This work in progress is developer-oriented but in the context of recent discussions, three things leap out at me: > Chandler is also a platform for building a PIM … > … additional triage states can be defined in plugins. > Generally, triage can be thought of as a timeline … In Chandler as we know it, that timeline is shown vertically. For obvious reasons, NOW is uppermost. If from the Chandler platform someone builds an alternative (but complementary) PIM, to show the timeline in a different way: how might we shake things up, and let them settle, to suit our individual/organisational needs? Key words: collections, triage, timeline. And Dashboard, although we don't see that in Chandler Hub. To me, an obvious alternative would be to have a timeline horizontally. More on this in a separate topic.
