   While Lisp had big, influential ideas, it wasn't at any time the shortest path to getting their immediate task done, for "enough" programmers. The successful languages managed to be the shortest path to "done", for

   I was curious to learn more, but this seems to be one of those sites where you can't learn anything without turning on JS and/or images. Or there is no simply no content there but "coming soon".

   The Mormon church is really called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (of which I'm a member). It sounds like you might be thinking of the affiliated, free genealogy site, http://www.familysearch.org . It does

   I have tried and thought about many things until finally writing my own tool that is extremely fast, powerful, and flexible. Currently it could be seen as org-mode replacement that addresses some of the key challenges (hard to learn, awkwa

   Just saw your reply. The app has export (& import) features to convert anything to (or from) an indented plain-text outline. Thanks for the suggestion. There are screen shots under "about" then "what it is today" t

    Others here have described really well the defects in most products for information managers, knowledge managers, note-takers, etc etc. I created OneModel ( http://onemodel.org ), as an org-mode alternative. (Really, an everythin

    OneModel - "atomic knowledge", or a new way to manage knowledge by looking at it differently. The vision subsumes essentially all KM & notetaking etc products, and the current iteration is a text-mode bare AGPL3 app that I us

    You might also find this interesting: http://onemodel.org : a way to manage all/arbitrary knowledge "atomically". The web site has a similar feel with different but partly overlapping goals.

    Thanks for that summary. I have been thinking about this. I wonder if part of the problem is that mass culture has largely displaced other means of cultural transmission (extended family, traditions, churches) with the vacuous culture we se

    http://www.onemodel.org It's the best info organizer (for my style at least) that I know of, though (so far) less feature-rich than many products. I hope the About page at that link explains the present and future well.
