Christian,

you give url’s of third parties, I’ll yours here: christiantietze.de - don’t be that modest!

Everybody, please, bear in mind that Luhmann’s Zettelkasten (Chris, could you rectify this thread’s awful title, please, manually? ;-) “Zettelkaten” is so awful, it’s a slap in the face, every time!) was created BEFORE pc time, so “120% purity considerations” should NOT guide as, nor should they too narrowly guide any developer of any “Zettelkasten” sw “rendering”.

In other words, Luhmann’s “choices” often simply were triggered by the inherent limitations of a physical index card system - he probably would have been so happy to overcome them and replace them with something more adequate both to IMS, and to thinking-about-what-you’ve-got-within-your-IMS-of-then.

As the Germans say, don’t be more papal than the Pope itself is… especially if you’ve got good reason to assume the Pope wasn’t even free in his decisions. ;-)

( This being said, I’d be happy, too, if you shared some thoughts about IMS here, for possible discussion, be it before, or after implemention into your sw. )
