Thanks to Jake, Rob, Terry, Edward, Jon, and Don, for expressing interest in taking Leo further in the direction of being an optimum personal organizer. Several of you have used Ecco Pro regularly for years and like elements of it, such as...
- outline centric interface - elegant node manipulation - rich context (parent nodes presented in certain views) - robust search - robust tag / metadata handling - integrated contact file - integrated calendar ... and struggle with some of the other aspects of a 23 year old program (history here --> http://eccopro.com/history/arabesque/) which still amazes most of us who have used it. - challenges exporting formatted outlines - challenges moving nodes around from file to file - lack of some modern capabilities (e.g. hoisting) without some additional code / config - difficulties handling node headers and bodies simultaneously (without some additional code / config) The goal of this project, as of now, is not to replace Ecco Pro per se, but rather to inform a direction for Leo in the area of personal organizer (a purpose for which, out of the box, Leo is very well-suited). Having spoken with a few of you, there is interest in getting together and discussing what can be done, and which ones of us could take on various sub-projects (design, dev, testing, doc, etc.). It appears that quite a bit could be done in a few weeks, so this doesn't need to be a massive, long-term project. I'd like to see how many can make a call this Wed or Thurs. I can set up a conf bridge. I'll also demo how I'm using nodetags.py + quicksearch.py with really good results. Perhaps others can share some of the techniques they use as well. Please let me know if you're interested in joining and how your calendar looks for those days or, alternatively, next week. -Richard On Monday, January 25, 2016 at 10:34:37 AM UTC-8, Don Dwiggins wrote: > > On 1/22/16 5:34 AM, Jacob Peck wrote: > > I know it's not quite exactly the same, but for a while I was using a > home-brewed system I called LTD (Leo Things Done), that leveraged the power > of Leo and a few custom plugins (now part of the codebase) to organize my > life.
