[Leaplist] Bruce Parens uses VimOutliner

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

VimMeister Dillon Jones turned me on to this article...

Open Source Initiative co-founder Bruce Parens uses VimOutliner.

To quote Bruce: "I need a simple tool while writing, one that doesn't get in 
the way of the creative process by making me focus on the visual appearance. 
VIM Outliner is about the simplest possible file format."

Specifically, he quickly puts all his info into an outline, then runs his 
home-grown VimOutliner to OpenOffice converter.

I do a very similar thing writing books. I outline the book, then run a 
VimOutliner to LyX converter :-)

You LEAP oldtimers might remember that I gave a VimOutliner presentation at 
LEAP several years ago.
