Chandler on Ubuntu Linux
So your sick of Ximian Novells Evolution & you aren’t hip the AJAX solutions being floated? Wanna try OSAF ‘experiemental’ software??! Hell yeah, let’s do it mace!
First we’ll snatch a copy of Chandler, it’s an rpm so grab a copy of alien if it isn’t already on your box ( sudo apt-get install alien ). Then we’ll convert to a .deb, then dpkg install, change directories & run the program. Finally we post a screenshot 
this step is optional.

Chandler 0.6 delivers an experimentally usable calendar for individuals and small workgroups. It is a test release for collecting feedback based on real usage. In addition to basic calendaring, advanced features include: recurring events; time-zones; overlayed multiple calendars; and managing a single event across calendars. 0.6 offers innovative new capabilities in calendar sharing to support workgroup collaboration. Chandler sharing is server-based, works across platforms and supports multi-author editing. 0.6 continues to improve Chandler’s developer platform framework. A developer looking to extend Chandler should be able to create a simple forms-based parcel. |
