When you won't go by the book, then focusing on Luhmann has no real purpose anyway, for this the system is just to simplified. You better focus on the general area where his systems is located to find inspirations and answers. Which would mean Wiki, Hypertext, graphs and outliners. Or are you specifically interessted in his addressing-system? But in general you are not wrong here. Leo Editor can be used that way, even though it's not be the best for this. But it's not the worst either. It depends on how you polish it and yourself. Using Leo in a way to copy Luhmanns Zettelkasten could be done with 2-3 Simple functions. All you need is something to get the reference of node, and something to got from a link in text to the referenced node. First one is quite simple, just add an entry to the context-menu to get the leo-internal id. Second one could be achived by reusing the existing Hyperlink-Click-function and add support for links with leo:// as protocol. Then the rest is up to you to use it and fill your box. But if you really aim to make proper use of Leo for this, I would advice you to learn at least some basic programing with leo. It's quite helpful to be able to import/export and sanitize your data automatically. Just be careful and make enough backups. Python is otherwise really simple to handle. And if you are comfortable enough with it, you can add more tools to handle your box. you could save us quite a lot of wasted effort reinventing the wheel when > the wheel apparently is not that good to begin with. > The wheel is as good as the driver using it. There is no magic software (yet) which can solve all those problems for you. At the end it always depends on the personal demand and abilities. Notetaking and knowledgemanagment is so personal; everyone has different demand, different habits and reasoning, different skills. From my experience, any workflow must be forged by the user themself over a long time. You can collect as many tools as you want, as long as you don't know how to wield them, they are worthless. Though, it's true that starting simple is usually better. So maybe that's what people drive to Luhmanns Zettelkasten? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
