Regrettably, it seems that there has been no active development since
the 1.0 release; very sad because I don't find anything else that does
exactly this.

The history of the project is that it was funded by Mitch Kapor with
the aim of becoming his dream PDA; after years of development with no
release he decided to terminate the funding. The development team then
released a minimalistic stripped down version as 1.0, just before the
team dissolved. The obstacle to community development is apparently
that because of the aim for it to be a very fully featured program, it
includes all the infrastructure for a far larger piece of software,
much of which is not used. Realising that this would make it nearly
impossible for anyone not on the original development team to pick it
up, a major re-architecture project was started before the dissolution
of the team, but was unfortunately not sufficiently complete for use.

AFAIK, the only current activity of the Chandler project is to
maintain the server and it seems that unless some really talented and
determined individual decides to take on the challenge, there will be
no further development.

A sad illustration of how difficult it is to make the transition from
full time paid developers to community development.
