<a href="http://www.dynamicobjects.com/">Diego Doval</a> has just announced the first public alpha release of the decidedly <a href="http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2002/11/07#When:5:47:20PM">non-vaporous</a> PIM-like app: <a href="http://www.dynamicobjects.com/spaces.html">Spaces</a>.
<br /><br />
Coming quickly after the announcement of Mitch Kapor and the <a href="http://www.osafoundation.org/our_product_desc.htm">OSAF's plans</a> for an MS Outlook competitor, Spaces seems to already do a lot of what <a href="http://www.osafoundation.org/feature_summary.htm">Chandler</a> has plans to do, but is ready for <a href="http://www.dynamicobjects.com/download.html">download</a> and testing right now.
<br /><br />
A very cool feature of Spaces is the integration of an RSS new aggregator right alongside the email client. News items and email messages are fundamentally the same and the app takes advantage of that. Spaces is blurring the differences between how we read news and email and it's about time!post:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554Mon, 11 Nov 2002 15:52:58 -0800antidigeratibrokenlinkdiegodovalspaceschandlerosafsoftwareBy: jkaczor

This looks nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the source, but definately non-vapour.
Why source? For something to truly comoditize 'Outlook' we need it to be as stable as other open-source platforms/tools, and to outlast any current "vendor" interest. OpenOffice is a very nice suite, it will survive whatever happens to Sun, so in a similar vein, I'm hoping this will have a decent license as well...comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-385963Mon, 11 Nov 2002 16:01:57 -0800jkaczorBy: PenDevil

This looks like Ximian's <a href="http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/">Evolution</a> which has been doing the RDF/RSS (whatever Dave Winer wants us to call it) feed thing for a while now.comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-385968Mon, 11 Nov 2002 16:05:50 -0800PenDevilBy: betaray

Ug, more email clients.
How about we get someone working on a some server side technology with a documented interface instead?
"The problem is the user interface." Actually that's way down on the list of what the problem is. The problem is important is interoperability. Period.
Until I can have UNIX, Mac, Windows, and various other platforms that the author of these pieces of software don't care about will we won't see any of these "revolutionary" new concepts stick.
If we could boot-strap this processes by updating <a href="http://grox.net/doc/rfc/imap/rfc2192_IMAP4.html">existing standards</a>, then we might even have a reasonable path for migration.comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-385984Mon, 11 Nov 2002 16:37:41 -0800betarayBy: betaray

<small>damnit, helps if you make complete thoughts, that second paragraph is:</small>

I'm sorry, could you say that again, more plainly?
From a non-techie perspective, it looks like spaces gets at what you're asking for, by running off of <a href="http://www.dynamicobjects.com/faq.html#q3">Java</a>. Is that not what's happening?comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-386030Mon, 11 Nov 2002 18:08:34 -0800claxton6By: boltman

RSS new aggregator? PIM? Plain english is your friend when it comes to front page posts. Some of us don't speak computer geek.
<small>not that I have anything other than love and respect for computer geeks, mind you :)</small>comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-386125Mon, 11 Nov 2002 22:58:24 -0800boltmanBy: Fabulon7

I'm all for a better email program, but this looks very similar to Evolution, which I use and like, except that it's Java, so it will probably run like a pig. I just don't see why this thing is all that exciting...comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-386195Tue, 12 Nov 2002 06:19:08 -0800Fabulon7By: wfrgms

Awesome - I'll have to check this out. For those interested in further making their email more interactive check out <a href="http://guests.evectors.it/zoe/">Zoe</a>.
<i>The goal here is to do for email (starting with your personal mailbox) what Google did for the web... The Google principle: It doesn't matter where information is because I can get to it with a keystroke. So what is Zoë? Think about it as a sort of librarian, tirelessly, continuously, processing, slicing, indexing, organizing, your messages.</i>comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-386278Tue, 12 Nov 2002 10:22:06 -0800wfrgmsBy: inksyndicate

Has anyone used PINE? It has blurred the differences between e-mail and news for a long, long, long time...comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.21554-386444Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:36:47 -0800inksyndicate
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
