Indeed :-)

On a different subject:

Given that this forum is dedicated more to software than to systems (though, as discussed elsewhere on the occasion of CRPA, most software has some kind of background philosophy) it is perhaps not the most suitable place to discuss the intricacies of the Cyborganize concepts. This is not a criticism, merely an observation, and may be in fact wrong. I just find that, for myself, I frequent this forum to discuss software tools that are more or less ready-to-wear.

At the end of the day, this might be an illusion. In practice, some of the more powerful tools, e.g. Zoot, require substantial investment in their mastery. Nevertheless, one can usually make out their basic operation quite quickly.

JB, I suggest the following: focus on explaining the full Cyborganize system within its main site and/or through a dedicated Wiki. This way, each question will directly contribute to clarifying the system and be immediately accessible by its prospective users. In addition, you will have no issues with copying useful contributions from elsewhere, since it will be posted under Cyborganize from the very beginning.

By contrast, I would suggest that you use this forum to discuss more the practical employment of each piece (not necessarily all) of the Cyborganize collection of programs in specific steps of the system’s workflow. This way you will probably gain more valuable feedback from this forum’s frequenters. An example is the discussion of the BrainstormWFO presentations (by the way, I was rather surprised to see that the http://brainstormsw.com site has reverted to the old version).

Again, as noted above, my observations and suggestions may be misplaced. Yet I note that some members of outlinersoftware.com, myself included, have in the past opted to discuss broader workflow systems (i.e. above and beyond specific pieces of software) in other forums rather than here.
