Speaking of handling email, wanting maximum power, and (not) using
databases which aren't integrated into the filesystem namespace: note
that the thin GUI on top of a filesystem of predicate- and
link-directories with pathname-listing is, among other things,
Chandler (the promised son-of-Lotus-Agenda) done right.
In particular, see
http://blogs.osafoundation.org/mitch/000092.html
.
"attributes and their values" --> /foo/bar/baz
"relationships to other items" --> /foo/fum:aaardvark/foo etc.
"payload" --> file body
"show views of [things] organized by [foo]" --> ls foo (note no distinction
between d-to-m and m-to-d
metadata)
The other mappings are left as an exercise: they're astonishingly (and
amusingly) precise.
Leo.
