[Alec's] SWAG/implementation comments

  • Month view is probably not hard, just a moderate amount of work before it would be usable
  • Go to date would be very easy
  • displaying a preference-set number of hours in the calendar view would be pretty easy
  • reminders while chandler isn't running is probably pretty hard. It would require a separate program with access to the repository, which means it would have to quit when chandler started. In addition, that kind of thing is even harder to do cross-platform. Perhaps there could be a way to shut down the chandler UI and (hopefully) save some memory that way?
  • printing of the day/week view is more or less there for "timed" events, but printing the combined all-day/timed view will probably be fairly tricky. It might be interesting to try to prioritize what people would use the most? A month view might actually be fairly easy once the month view UI is complete (i.e. just incremental work)
  • Preview area change would be very easy
  • D&D to/from the all day area is pretty easy
  • Resize events in the all day area is pretty easy
