I find the extended version more informative (and very good too!), though it is a bit long to be considered an abstract; it's certainly an overview. It might be the format. I find my eyes just drifting over over the bullets without really reading or absorbing their content. That could be equally due to my familiarity with the subject too though.
Either way, I've been using Leo for a couple of years, though I still consider myself a neophyte, and I found myself going "ahh, so that's it" a few times while reading it. So, well done. :) -matt On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 11:04 AM, tfer <[email protected]> wrote: > Trying out my own suggestion, I've changed the abstract to: > > What are the special, often unique facilities that Leo brings its users, and > what advantages do they give? > *External files and outline subtrees can be put into correspondence. -- > Creating, sourcing, or both. > *It helps to keep code blocks small. -- Think note cards rather than reams > of paper. > *Reorganizing is easy. -- Just drag around headlines in the outline pane! > *Design and coding shifts are easy. -- Capture design in headlines, fill > in whenever. > *Hard to code tasks can be further decomposed. -- Name sub-tasks, fill in, > shift focus by expanding/collapsing outline parts. > *Outline structure works as commenting. -- Just the structure can convey > intent. > *Custom, task oriented side-views. -- More ways to see things, (portal > guns for everyone!). > *Outline nodes are data. -- Metaprogramming built in. > *Custom, in outline, python macros.
