Considering "collaboration": One meaning, which seems virtually a solved problem: "many people can work on the same set of files, conflict hassles are minimized by version control"
Another: "I expose my thinking process, others contribute reactions and suggestions, resulting in mutual benefit." This one seems to be in good hands with blogs, mailing lists, ... social networks in general. Another: "I expose my thinking process via breadcrumbs which I and others can refer to" Along the lines of http://diigo.com I think "thinking process" really means "that which currently tickles my fancy" RE: Leo specifically: I'm not interested in others changing my Leo files, nor in my changing theirs. I am interested in using Leo to create an environment which is tailored to structuring my thinking process, and automatically exposes it, should others be interested. However they are not as important as I am. Maybe someone else would be interested, but first and foremost I want to be getting things done, while saving what I do in a form which offers easy access to it. I want to figure out problems ONCE, including the problem of "how do I figure out problems ONCE?" Thanks, Kent On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 6:24 AM, Edward K.
