Hi Dr Andus!

Thanks for your comments on work flow and I think it is a very useful discussion (although it perhaps should be broken out like the ‘aesthetics’ one). A few comments / questions…

I’m wondering if you’ve even compared Surfulater with Zotero’s ability to grab web material and turn it into bib source refs? (I think Evernote and/or Mendeley do this as well but I forget which one just now.)

Also, I’ve never used Bonsai or Whizfolder but they look like identical outliners to me. I’m curious why you start with Whizfolder and then move everything over to Bonsai. Why not just stick with one or the other?
