I've been using this for years.  It's a fantastic way to organize ideas.
 It also turns out to be a great tool for taking notes, once you get the
keybindings tweaked to suit your style.

 this might eventually run on the neo.

I devoutly hope so.

I think mind mapping might be what you're looking for, check out here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map

for software the gold standard is mindmanager www.mindjet.com  but
that seems to be windows/mac only.  I used this for what you're
describing and some note taking on a tablet when I was in school.

I saw another that is java based, haven't used it but
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page this might
eventually run on the neo.

anyways check these out, see if they do what you want


  
I just noticed a Debian Package a Day post that covers Vym - an easy 
mind mapping and drafting tool. It may not be appropriate for the Neo, 
though.

brainstorming/organisation software

2008-02-10 Thread Robin Paulson
i'm looking for some software to eventually go on my neo, but i've no
idea what it would be called

i often come up with ideas/problems/thoughts that i want to record,
and i've been typing them into my current phone as simple notes up to
now, but that isn't really satisfactory - they are all isolated from
each other, despite often having common themes

what i really want is something that will take my notes and at the
very least be able to index them, so common words can be searched for
and the results grouped together. if possible, it would have some
artificial intelligence to learn about what i'm typing, and then make
connections between notes that aren't obviously similar. i think this
is semantic indexing?

of course, all this should be syncable with my desktop, so i can
further work on them with a proper keyboard/back them up

so, can anyone see what i'm trying to describe? is there a name for
this type of software? are there any good examples out there? is
anyone here developing one for om?

zulupad would be one option, but it's win only, and not really that intelligent.

thanks

Sounds like you're looking for Tomboy Notes. It's a wiki-style note
application. It will run on your desktop, but I don't know if Tomboy is
running on the Neo yet.

  of course, all this should be syncable with my desktop, so i can
  further work on them with a proper keyboard/back them up
  

You can use Conduit ( http://www.conduit-project.org/ )to sync your
Tomboy notes with different computers and services.  However, I don't
know if there is syncing capability through Conduit yet.
