Hi. I'm looking for good Personal Information Management software.
I need a strong package of features that will handle:
1. Basic document management (a la Keynote
http://www.tranglos.com/free/index.html or Treepad http://www.treepad.com/).
2. Detailed Calender/Task Information (a la MS Outlook or Calenderscope
http://www.calendarscope.com/) ... also a kind of Planner (big view of
ideas over large swaths of time)
3. Detailed Contact Information (a la MS Outlook)
4. A place to do *basic* free form brainstorming or "mind mapping" or
at least some kind of more dynamic linking of ideas (a la Concept Draw
http://www.conceptdraw.com/en/products/mindmap/main.php)
5. Some kind of journal capability, i.e., ideas tied to dates (a la The
Journal http://www.davidrm.com/)
6. Ability to export information in whole or part and also to filter
information exported to specific criteria.
7. Ability to search entire database.
8. Ability to dynamically link ideas/points in the database to each
other and to material outside the database (such as files on local drive
or to web addresses).
I know of a wide range of PIM programs such as those listed here:
http://kftf.ischool.washington.edu/tools.asp and have checked many out.
The most outstanding I've seen is GemX's DoOrganizer
http://www.gemx.com/doorganizer.php (now at v 1.45 and previously known
as Deviant Organizer). It's a remarkable (non-freeware, however)
program but seems somewhat unstable with frequent Access Violations and
missing features (that are referenced in the documentation). I've seen
references (little is mentioned on the program on-line) to others with
freezes and access violation errors.
QUESTION: Does anyone know about this DoOrganizer program?
QUESTION: What PIM programs are people using and what do you find both
useful and limited about them?
BTW: Anyone know about the Chandler (Open Source) project run by Mitch
Kapor (of Lotus 1-2-3 fame)? Looks interesting but very slow in
development(compared to other programs out there).
Thanks All!
