Here are some comments on the vision doc on the website:
"We specifically address use cases of these small organizations" ->
"We are specifically addressing the use cases of these small
organizations"
"We also consider workflow-based designs for even the basic features
of email in planning" - what do we consider these designs, good or
bad? Are you really saying that workflow-base designs for the basic
features of email are in planning?
"Info-centric users have a few additional needs just for managing
their own events" - this sentence and the paragraph that follows
seem odd to me. There are plenty of info-centric users who barely
use a calendar. Wouldn't it be better to say something like, "Some
info-centric users have additional needs for managing their own events"
"Integrating some "identity explosion" technology to help users
correlate addresses" -- don't you mean "identity unexplosion"
technology?
"Some contact information is required to use email and calendaring
functionality:" -- here you talk about contact information, but the
bullet points that follow are about autocompletion.
In the section on Resources, what about web resources? These
resources are becoming as important as filesystem based resources.
"The sidebar shows an event that was stamped as an email, adding "to"
and "from" fields but keeping the same subject, body, and all the
event attributes" - this sentence confused me because the document
sidebar shows an image but the image is of the Chandler detail view.
"Traditional solutions suck" -> "Tradtional solutions have a host of
problems"
"custom widget development Note" -> "custom widget development. Note"
"naturally continue to offer Python APIs" -> "continue to offer
Python APIs"
"We aim to foster communities of users, scripters, parcel developers
and contributors (whether contributing QA, documentation or code in
large or small quantities). Some of the pieces needed for that:" ->
"Chandler is an open source project, and it is our goal to have a
thriving and diverse community around Chandler. We expect that
community to include end users, scripters, parcel developers, and
contributors (of tests, bug fixes, translations, documentation or
code in large or small quantities). In order to facilitate the the
growth of that community, we have:"
