Hi Mimi,
Looks great now! I think it's time to clear the *In Progress* text next
to the top don't you think? :)
Cheers,

Hi Philippe,
Thank you for taking another careful sweep through this page. I've
made a few more minor:
1. Normalized capitalization. Only 'Chandler Concepts' are
capitalized. So recurring events isn't. But Tickler is.
2. Bolded what we're compatible with (nouns like iCalendar, WebDAV,
Evolution), not the ways we're compatible (verbs like import,
subscribet, etc)
3. Changed the description of the dynamic Who and Date columns to:
"Context sensitive Who and Date columns dynamically display item
metadata"
4. Tweaked the language around stamping. (I don't think we need an
intro sentence about kinds, too much into the weeds of implementation?)
5. Broke out bullets into sub-groups where it made sense. Particularly
under Organize you information..., Calendaring with Chandler Desktop
and Manage Information with Chandler Hub

Hey Philippe. I've taken a pass at unifying the copy style. Please
take another sweep at it if you have time.
Great job Mimi! This is waaay better! :)
I nit pick here and there:
- used Chandler Desktop consistently through the page so the reader
can identify things easier
- used consistent punctuation
- compacted some statements
- fixed a bunch of puny layout issues
- used *bold* face for Chandler concepts only and only when
introduced for the first time (instead of mix of concept, verbs...)
Now we're (almost) done with that (I left the *In Progress* line at
the top intact, you may want to clean that up), I'm wondering what we
should do with a "release note" (this is assigned to me
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9608). We talked
about it without really converging on a decision. FYI, here's the
list of sections that the FireFox 2.0 release notes
(http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/) covers:
- What's New
- System Requirements
- Downloading
- Installing
- Uninstalling
- Extensions and Themes
- Known Issues
- Troubleshooting
- FAQ
- Contributed Builds
- Other Resources and Links
I think we have *all* of this in various pages we just edited
*except* for a "What's New" page, the argument being that, pretty
much everything is new so the Feature List should be enough...
... but not everything is that new. There are people who have been
following us (though they might not be users). So, the question is:
should we create such a release note page, which will basically
contain only a "What's New" section (new wrt to Chandler Desktop 0.6)
and a profusion of pointers for the rest?
I'd say "yes" but that's just my opinion.
Cheers,
- Philippe
