I appreciate the suggestion. and I've never encountered VimOutliner. Please be aware that this thread is not about outliners and note takers, but something very different. Sometimes I have called the zettels - the "atoms" of the system - notes, but that's a little misleading. They would be your thoughts on a matter after you have taken your notes and read your references. They are decomposed into small, well-focused bits that you can think about and refine over time, and that you will link to other atoms. Over time, with the help of a large group of these well-linked ideas, you become more creative and more able to relate disparate ideas and thought that you didn't remember or didn't realize were related. At least, that is what the inventor and users of the system say. And they did it all with a paper system, no less. That's what we are hoping for here. It's very different from taking notes or putting them into an outline (though that would be one way of linking the atoms). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
