Why is software so hard?

Hard to make well. Hard to deliver on time. Hard to use.

Our civilization runs on software. Yet the art of creating it continues to be a dark mystery, even to the experts, and the greater our ambitions, the more spectacularly we seem to fail.

Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software sets out to understand why, through the story of one software project -- Mitch Kapor's Chandler, an ambitious, open-source effort to rethink the world of e-mail and scheduling.

Session

Personal Information Architecture and Chandler
Mimi Yin, OSAF
Date: Thursday, March 09
Time: 1:45pm - 2:30pm
Location: Madeleine CD

Your personal information (email, events, tasks, notes and contacts) is interconnected. Shouldn't it be integrated? Mimi Yin, Interaction Designer at Open Source Applications Foundation, will discuss an information architecture for managing all that information together, with special attention to designs that deal well with high inflows, frequent workflow interruptions, and fuzzy states. The principles behind this are illustrated with release 0.6 of Chandler, an experimental calendar application which is in the process of being extended to do mail and tasks.

The central theme of the When 2.0 conference is time, and how it relates to different services and applications. In one extrapolation of this, Mitch Kapor, president and chair of the Open Source Applications Foundation, talked about "stamping" tasks or events, or annotating them with meaning in time, with a beginning and end, a structure and notes. Without giving much more detail, he said this functionality will be part of an upcoming version of an open-source personal identify manager code-named Chandler. Chandler integrates calendar, e-mail, contact management, task management, notes and IM.
