Very interesting stuff. I believe a well implemeted solution could become 
very popular (e.g among students).

Just so I dont' misunderstand - you write:

* implement a dedicated ViewMode <http://cornell.tiddlyspot.com/#ViewMode> 
> and EditMode <http://cornell.tiddlyspot.com/#EditMode> template for 
> CornellNotes <http://cornell.tiddlyspot.com/#CornellNotes> 

** both templates render IndexedRows 
> <http://cornell.tiddlyspot.com/#IndexedRows> stored at CornellNotes 
> <http://cornell.tiddlyspot.com/#CornellNotes>
>

This would mean some kind of indexing table in (tiddler) CornellNotes, 
right? And the actual notes would still be via individual tiddlers (albeit 
in their fields) so that we still stick to the paradigm with tiddlers being 
the primariy unit and citizen in TW, right? (As opposed to somehow lifting 
out fields to be "it" that we deal with.)

I am particulaly intrigued by the concept of ViewModeEditing 
<http://cornell.tiddlyspot.com/#ViewModeEditing>, also outside of 
CornellNotes. In fact, just the other day I wrote a little text 
<http://tidbits.tiddlyspace.com/#TWYSIWYG>on how TW should feature three 
modes for a tiddler!

In general for note-taking, I think it must be very easy to create new 
notes. I've brought up Cintanotes before which works better than TW, for 
me, when quickly taking notes but still wanting something with discrete 
units (i.e not just a text editor or pen+paper where you write everything 
togheter). A power feature for this in TW(C) can be found in Simon Bairds 
mGSD where you can type in the content for soon-to-be-created multiple 
tiddlers at once, and then have them created with a clck of a button. Very 
effective and the user does not have to bother with the "Create New. Jump 
around between fields. Click Done. Reopen to change. ...etc". I did mockup 
(image) a few days back that I think I posted but I'm not sure. Tell me if 
you haven't seen it. I won't post it in this message to not deviate too or 
hijack your thread.

Regarding cn-id - I am very interested in this. It would be easy to imagine 
students wanting to share notes and unique identifiers woudl be necessary 
if we managed to create a social system as discussed in other threads. 
Would this cn-id also mean a way to specifiy a URL straight to this? 

I also favor the n:n relationship for the smiple reason that our minds work 
this way. BTW, hearing this I can't help but think of Felix TiddlyMap, 
formerly called TaskGraph. He may have some input on this that could make 
Cornessnotes possible to present in this format? Fits well for when the 
note taking is to learn stuff. 


Ok, easier said than done - but they're just friendly ideas.
