Hi Conor Yeah, not only did I give up on this system, I also gave up on Workflowy, because the creators were not developing it, and kept promising things without delivering. I switched to Dynalist. See my blog post about that switch here http://www.giffmex.org/ideas/thanks-to-dynalist-my-searching-is-over/
My current system is: use Dynalist for writing and outlining, since that is its strength, and use TW 1. store sensitive personal and work information kept offline, 2. primarily to create and export static htmls on http://articulos.giffmex.org/, and 3. to take summary notes on books and webpages I read. (see the results at http://giffmex.org/mn.html, but note that while I am using it, I haven't uploaded changes to that file recently) Not sure with your other question if you were asking if others collaborated with me on this project (not directly, but many people here helped me solve problems that refined the project), or if you are asking if this system had a collaborative component to it (it did not).
