Chandler Release: 0.2

Thank you for your interest in the 0.2 release of Chandler. We hope that this release of Chandler will give you a flavor of Chandler's architecture and APIs, and a glimse of what Chandler will do in the future.

Please note that Chandler is still in its extremely early stages, with only a very limited set of capabilities. Please read the README -- it has information on known bugs, our future plans, volunteering, and where to go for futher documentation.

Please also understand that our underlying database is undergoing massive changes at the moment. What we're using now will not be what we use in the future. This means that you should not store important information in Chandler yet.
