Linux Organizer is a PIM (Personal Information Manager) which
covers all needs of the regular user.
Potentially this program can became the real Personal Information
Manager that will include all the functionality currently
spread over many stand-alone applications.
The purpose of this application is to mimic the common "paper" organizers.
User can decide which sections should be included or excluded.
Work as easy as with the sheet of paper and don't think about
the front-ends/back-ends/engines/plugins and the other hard stuff.
At this point, the Linux Organizer core is in the development stage.
The first module was already released as a stand-alone
application - the Periodic Calendar. See the
corresponding section for more details.
The current version will
support the modular architecture and is based on gtkmm library.
The previous version, built with Borland Kylix is not supported
any more but you still can download it in the
download area.
Periodic Calendar is a GUI utility which assists in women menstrual
cycles tracking and fertility periods prediction. This information
can be used either to became pregnant or to prevent pregnancy.
At this point the fertility prediction is based on the calendar method
which is not very precise. It is not recommended to use this method alone
for the birth control.
In the future versions it is planned to add the support for the BBT (Basal
Body Temperature) method which in addition to the calendar method provides
more precise predictions. However, this method requires more efforts (daily
temperature measurements) while the calendar method requires only to remember
the cycle start dates and enter them somehow into the program. The effectiveness
of the BBT method itself is about 80-90%. Combining more than one method makes
the predictions more effective.
Other self-observations methods I know are really hard to support on a computer.
THIS PROGRAM PREDICTIONS IN NO CASES CAN BE USED AS THE FINAL. THE METHODS USED
ARE NOT 100% EFFECTIVE FOR ALL WOMEN.
This module was released separately since AFAIK there are no
comparable analogs. Later this module will be a part of the
Linux Organizer suite.
The Periodic Calendar module is released as a stand-alone
application. It will be improved constantly but the main
efforts are directed to the Linux Organizer core implementation.
The goal of this work is to create a flexible framework for the
PIM application with the plugins support. The system components
are connected using a set of the general program interfaces.
The plugins could be created independently from the core
application.

Your suggestions may influence the items priority or may cause
release to be earlier than initially planned if some particular
function was already implemented.
