Ah, right. That's the guy who's patching the Ecco binary. I haven't looked
at his stuff in several months, and he had some neat utilities and notes
on the internals of the application, but had been rather reluctant to
share the details of how his stuff worked.
Anyways, I can have a look at that DDE library, to see what's available
and whether it would be sufficient to get appointment and to-do
information out of Ecco and into Chandler, as well as whether it can be
called from Python.
BTW, for KDE 4.0, Kontact and major PIMs are going to use the Open Sync
framework. I would imagine there is going to be a similar move among the
GTK apps as well. Seems like there would be a large potential pay-off if
Chandler were to have a plugin available in this framework.

One developer? The company that owns Ecco hasn't had any developers on
it for a decade. There is a number of third-party utilities that are
still maintained, mostly homebrew, and I know of one guy who has
apparently been hacking the binary to extend it with additional
functionality.
The only information i gathered was from wikipedia;
"There is still at least one active developer, EccoMagic, of tools, fixes,
and freeware utilities for the program."
