I've been taking an interest in mind mapping/concept mapping software lately and some of it crosses over into outlining and task management, for example Vym[0]. For now, though, I am using these tools in a more disposable fashion for brainstorming sessions -- I find the mind-map format very effective for exploration. I transfer the data into other software when I'm ready to linearize it into a document. [0] http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/time-management.html http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/time-management.html
