I thought I would point everyone to these two sites.

The first is an article from PalmPower Magazine (http://www.palmpower.com). It's an older article (June 1998), however it compares the four main outliners for PalmOS head-to-head.

http://www.palmpower.com/issues/issue199806/outliners001.html

The second is that I wanted to mention that THINK, the gnome outliner for Linux has reached a new version. Instead of supporting text from Emacs outline mode, it has now moved to XML.

http://www.duke.edu/~pat4/think/

Wouldn't it be great to have these hook into Frontier! Has anyone started on a suite that might make this a reality? How many would be interested in such a suite, even if it was only as simple as taking THINK's XML file and importing it into Frontier? Or taking a text file (somehow generated from one of the palm outliners) and importing that into Frontier as well?

There are responses to this message:
