I noted a recent reference about a forthcoming Brainstorm Pro. As I'm not a beta tester, this was interesting news to me.
Would someone be able to give an outline of its feature set, possible release date etc?
TIA

David and Marck's idea is to build Brainstorm Pro around a "finer-grained" core architecture; at the moment, the smallest data unit that Brainstorm can handle is a single entry i.e. phrase/paragraph. This means that any kind of formatting/metadata such as colour can only be set for the whole entry.
The "finer-grained" architecture would make every single letter a data item, allowing RTF formatting within the entry, URL links etc.
Brainstorm Pro is little more than a dream construction as yet, as far as I can tell, which is not necessarily a bad thing. You may add your own most desired features, rated on a scale from 6 to 1 from most to least important; join the Beta list and send a message with the title WIBNI Pro. (WIBNI = Wouldn't It Be Nice If)
My own wish list:
6. Aerial View: Folding / Editable / Printable
5. Synchronised windows (i.e. linked to the aerial view)
4. Search creates list of entries; clicking on one synchronises the next window
4 (alternative) Search marks entries on the aerial view
3. XML (preferably native format, else export)
2. Entries metadata; i.e. created by, date changed, etc
1. Possibility to label entries; i.e. Name, Address... use templates and filters on them
