Sad to see you go Paul. Communities should be inclusive, not divisive…

Wikipedia does provide a definition of an Outliner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliner

In my view, an outliner is the ability to show information in an outline, with expand / collapse. Period.
But it needs not be limited to this outline view. The ability to view the information in an outline AND in a flat (or flatter) view is very useful. In a nut shell, sometimes the outline gets in the way, so a flat view is useful.

HTH !
