Haha. +1 for the effort (though my pedantic affectations force me to note it's `BeOS' rather than BE/OS).
Plan 9 had some brilliant ideas. In addition to the whole Acme editor being integrated into the OS at levels which beat out even Smalltalk, and the Plan 9 tags(1) [see: File indexing and searching for Plan 9] system was marvelous as well. I've been trying to come up with a semantic information modeling system better than the standard hierarchy, and better than just a tagging system. tags(1) and Lotus Agenda get(got?) pretty close.
Side-note: emacs org-mode users - I highly suggest experimenting with Agenda in DosBox for a few months. It's pretty much the paragon of PIM, so much so that I wrote a few thousand lines of elisp to replicate most of the functionality.
- throwanem 10y agoSo I'm an Emacs org-mode user, and I'm not seeing a good reason why I should spend the time getting Agenda going just to play around with it. It looks like a lot of resources on the web are geared toward "I used Agenda years ago and loved it, how do I do that again?" Which is great and all, but it's not really helping me understand why I should take you up on your suggestion. It might help to see those few thousand lines of Emacs Lisp, but it'd help even more to have a quick précis of why Agenda is great and what it does that org-mode doesn't. You seem to know such things. Will you share them?
