Nenad's and Matt's words resonate a lot with me. I feel I could get so much
more out of Leo. But there's the occasional task which Leo helps me
completing and which I could elaborate on.
I am working as a biostatistician in clinical trials. One (mundane) task is
to print horizontal dividers that can be cut like an alphabetic register to
keep multiple dividers visible. Like this:
----------------------------------------------------+
18.1 Planning 18.1.1 Primary|
18.1.2 Primary Endpoint Endpoint|
+---------------+
|18.1.2 Analysis|
| Sets| <--- This is the
next divider
|---------------+
| 18.1.3 Sample|
| Size| <--- Another divider
etc. |---------------+
Pressing the scripted button causes the node and its descendents to be
exported to a series of PDF files using Reportlab. The whole project takes
less than 200 lines which I'll be happy to share.
Another task is searching log files of SAS program runs (SAS is an archaic
language with a PL/1 background, for some reason popular in Pharma) looking
for possible problems, and assemble them in a validation protocol. This was
realised within Leo with ~120 lines. I could share this too but be prepared
for German node names and comments.
I am a shoddy programmer whose first language is not Python, and project of
sizes like this are about what I can handle. Sometimes I think about how my
work could be immersed in Leo if only I were better at programming, and I
can definitely relate to people who are better programmers and who have Leo
deeply linked into their daily routines. I think it's important not to get
carried away by their enthusiastic comments. Once in a while I forge a
leaden chalice for myself, and find it useful.
