Hey all,
Lately, there's been a fuss about Lotus Agenda, now that someone is keen
on making a clone of it, based on MySQL and Python. I read up on it,
reading some of the links posted here and found through Google. I
installed it on my machine at work, and was happy to find that...
It's a lot like how the PIM will be in Dynapad! (http://dynapad.swiki.net)
I've been pondering how a PIM should be and discussing it with others, and
this sort of system is what I had planned.
Luckily, unlike MySQL and Python, the Dynapad version will be a lot
smaller, and most definately fit well on PDAs. Some have suggested Squeak
would be better for making an Agenda clone. We're all in luck! I've
already started on such a beast, before I had even heard of Agenda. It
won't be anywhere near a straight clone of it, but it will be just as
powerful, if not more.
But unfortunately, I'm a wee undergrad student, taking a positively full
class load as well as working 30 hours/week. So coding time is very small
and percious for me. I plan on doing a lot of Dynapad work during my
winter holiday, where I will just code until my hands fall off.
Regards,
Aaron
