Question about development of non-linear writing project

[Jan David Hauck]

Hi there,

half a year ago Iearned about the NonLinear Writing project at the Google
Summer School:

http://wiki.lyx.org/GSoC/NonLinearWriting

Anyone any idea what happened to that?

Thanks,

Jan

Some work was done. It may find its way into 2.2, but that is not clear yet.

This feature is of great interest o me as well, I am waiting for it for
quite a while and have tried to check the progress of the GSOC project and
any eventual follow up, but have not found any info after the (abortive?)
GSOC project.

I also could not find it in the road map. Richard, could you point me to a
page where I can find out about the current status? Also, a guesstimate as
to when 2.2 would be very helpful. Thanks a lot.

When you make the outliner module, please keep in mind that if an
outline is not lightning fast for the touch-typist, it's worse than
useless, because the author forgets the point he was trying to make
while reaching for the mouse or typing an arcane and difficult key
combination. An outliner must be faster than the author's thought
processes, and must take zero thought to operate. Otherwise, it gets in
the way.

I'm the originator of VimOutliner, and if anyone has any questions
about outlines, I'll be glad to share what I've learned.

Thanks,

Does anyone have any news on this issue? Lyx-outline that was the origin of
this, developed by Rob Oaks, was already a useable software when this was
picked up by the google summer code project. Now it seems to have died
somehow. I really believe this to be a fantastic enhancement to Lyx and hope
it will be incorporated into the main line software asap!

I am worried about this issue too. No traces of this on the webpages and
lyx-outline which was a working fork with the corkboard developed by Rob
Oakes seems dead for a while now. This i a giant improvement for Lyx and it
would be really sad if it was abandoned!

All the best
