Yes, that's the one. It's the project the book Dreaming in Code by Scott Rosenberg (2008) is based on. It's a shame the project folded right around the time of its 1.0 release -- it looks really promising, but definitely not there yet. So I was surprised to see Joe Armstrong uses it.

I remember being obsessed with it for an afternoon. The design of it looks awesome, but I think it's a victim of being built on a particularly annoying stack.

Redone as a webapp w/an easily setup server, even with no other UX changes, and I'd absolutely use it. I'm going to put researching that on my substandard todo list:)

It looks like the project has some kind of web thingie: http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/CosmoHome

Yeah, that's it. Joe talked about it during a lecture last week. He says he's working to rebuild it.

Excellent news. I followed this project briefly some years ago but reverted to Outlook and Evolution.

We tried using it in the previous startup I worked with.

It was pretty hard to make everyone use it and soon we ended up installing redmine for issue tracking.
