But they will give you an idea of what Chandler is going to be in the future. You are welcome to download the 0.7alpha3 milestone and try these out for yourself, but if you are using Chandler 0.6.1 to dogfood the Chandler calendar, you probably will want to hold off until alpha3 before you upgrade.
