I saw this site (http://m-arriaga.net/software/newdocms/) about a new, non 
hierarchical way to organize files, and am intrigued.

I would like something similar for organizing texts, but not as separate 
files, rather as notes in a kjots type of "book". Except that kjots does not 
allow for specifying much metadata, and definitely not relationships, which 
is exactly the strength of newdocs.

I came accross thoughttracker 
(http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~gomar/stuff/thoughttracker/) which does allow 
relationships to be defined, but not intuitively, nor does it allow to 
specify much metadata. Plus, it doesn't do Hebrew.

Do list members know of other such projects that have already produced 
something useable?

The next step would be to produce good export formats. Since the material is 
non hierarchical, it cannot just be printed or exported to a linear format. 
Instead, it must allow for gereating reports.

Ideally I would like the possibility to export a javascript and html document, 
so that I can send a multidimensional report to any recipient who doesn't 
have the software. I am sure nobody wrote that yet, but it would help if the 
project were extensible in perl or some other rapid scripting language.

Ideas?
