Anyone know what happened with IdeaMason
11/16/2011
There's probably more info in the archives here, but a quick reply while I've got a moment:
A few years ago I spent a couple weeks diving into IdeaMason, but I didn't stick with it. The major drawbac...
ThinkComposer early beta
10/8/2011
Interesting new Windows software for concept mapping and the like --- the developer just released the first public beta. (I have yet to try it.)

Whoops, I now see that what I just posted is redundant as Alexander already posted further info in another thread. Sorry for that --- I've not been following closely enough.

Outliner for redacting?
9/22/2011
You might also be able to import into ConnectedText, which has the ability to divide up what is imported into separate notes according to a user-defined delimiter. You could even then go from CT to Sc...
Outliner for redacting?
9/22/2011
Although it may not meet all your criteria, Tinderbox has a great "explode" feature that makes it easy to break up a text so that each sentence or paragraph gets its own note. In Outline View, one can...
Mori gets an update
9/17/2011
I have no comment on this (I haven't downloaded the new version), but given Mori's history in the outlining world, I think it merits mention that the developer of Mori (not the original developer, of ...
It took me a little while to figure this out, but the Cyborganize system is based on the use of of BrainStormWFO, which is discussed here:

ConnectedText might meet your needs to some degree. It's the most powerful personal wiki software I've come across. You can type the opening syntax characters for creating a link, and then as soon as ...

That doesn't sound good. I've already reached the conclusion myself that I won't be using this software for now (although I'll keep an eye on further development), but I sure hope I haven't installed ...
As far as I recall, there are relatively few task managers for windows that offer what I might call 'true outlining' (unlimited nesting/hierarchy of tasks). The main ones that come to mind are Ecco Pr...
A quick note about Colwiz (not outlining software, but since it's been mentioned here...):
I spent a couple hours looking at it today. Innovative but a frustrating experience for me. Doesn't seem to ...

Addin brings nested folding to MS Word
10/20/2010
Nested folding isn't outlining per se, but I'd call it a close cousin.
