I now understand Ed's 2 questions better My impression is 90% or more of Leo users create and manage computer programs using outlines with or without clones. A smaller fraction create and use Leo scripts as buttons or key bindings to make the program management and use easier. It seems Ed is saying this continuation of tinkering will only yield marginal improvements.
Still it might be useful to know more exact numbers and build a web- based survey, and see what users are finding most difficult and desire improvement. I can do this using Surveymonkey or another free service. What is obviously much harder is to know is how those that don't use Leo would find it useful and contribute to its improvement. My guess is that these outside the box uses would help answer Ed's questions. I will think of a few potentials. I have 2 in mind but they are not fully fleshed out. One involves processing messy and large databases and turning it into an outline tree for better understanding. I think this differs from normal Leo use in the sense that the data drives the tree, but the tree would not then be used to improve the data. i.e. a program. Let me suggest that others think of outside the box applications and we pick one to try, which would include finding experts in the field that are not users of Leo but would be willing to give it a try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
