From Radio UserLand's Outliner @ 4/4/02; 10:24:32 PM
- Current status: Online, working.

- Were I insane (perhaps criminally so), and if I knew elisp in emacs better, I would stick instant outlining into Emacs' outline-mode.
- Then we might truly have the "emacs of outliners".
- Or something like that.

- My cats demand my popcorn. The two of them work in tandem, one distracting and the other snatching. Astonishingly, they share the spoils.

- Concering Arboretum, Mark Paschal says: "No matter what I do, Les Orchard has done it first."
- Heehee. Funny, I've never had that said about me before :) I always feel like I'm behind.
- But, Arboretum as "emacs of outliners" is a boast / pipedream. The current state of affairs is not quite that. At present, it's more like My First Cocoa Program [tm]
- Actually, I think a Python/Tk (or maybe some other GUI toolkit, say ?WxWindows?) would have a better chance at making it to being a cross-platform "emacs of outliners".

- Been sick. Have to recover. Too many exciting things happening.
- Many many things I want to pick up and run with.
- Instant Outlining
- Arboretum needs to do it.
- I want diff for outlines.
- It'd also be neat to do some mining to conserve my attention span.
- Has someone mentioned my name (or a given pattern) again since the last time I read their outline? Maybe bold and italicize my buddy's name to tell me that I'm really interested in what they just posted.
- In IRC, using X-Chat, the name of a channel I'm in turns blue on changes, and turns red on changes and a mention of my nickname.
- I want to write some CGIs that produce OPML.
- Link them live into my I/O, or allow others to subscribe to them.
- Will they bolden on subscribers' lists iff they change?
- Arboretum
- It's been a little while, but I have been working on an outliner.
- This seems even more important now.
- Radio
- I really like PipeFilters. Need to finish it, at least on the web preferences side of things. Do you like PipeFilters?
- I want IMAP support in Radio UserLand so I can use it as an email client, and possibly to MailToRSS within Radio.
- Jabber
- Firewall traversing RPC is dead sexy.
- Wiki
- Why do I like wiki?
- An interface which steps out of one's way is a productive interface
- Dead simple markup for humans
- Dead simple collaboration & versioning
- Dead simple, almost automated document structure
- ...and Cocoon
- Seems like a natural. Transform from human-oriented markup shorthand to an intermediate XML format and run from there with the transformations.
- ...and Python
- MoinMoin seems to have a bit of a primitive pipeline going on with formatter classes.
- ...and ?DocBook
- We want to collaborate on book authoring at work.
- ... and OPML
