Re: Data model and Design documents of the Chandler application

Hi, Nitin

For high level aspects of the user interaction design, Mimi can  
probably help out. One source of information is the UI specifications  
that can be found here. These are the ones that touch on UI aspects of  
the data model:

http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/rel0_7/Dashboard-0.7.html
http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/rel0_7/Stamping-0.7.html
http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/rel0_7/SummaryTable-0.7.html

On the code side, I'd start out with the high-level overview

http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/chandler/distrib/docs/overview.html

(in particular, the "Domain Model" and "Collections and Notifications"  
sections). For more detailed information, I'd go with notes from a  
couple of presentations made by developers:

http://chandlerproject.org/Journal/CollectionMeeting20060512
http://chandlerproject.org/Journal/ChandlerModelGrantForScooby

Also, to understand the schema API (which is what basically all  
persistent information in Chandler uses), see:

http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/chandler/distrib/docs/parcel-schema-guide.html

There's also more detailed information on how stamping is implemented  
here:
