I just asked ndxCards on the forum there for a roadmap or vision statement, and was pleased with the results.
For example, they are committed to continuing development of the outliner and -- Stephen Diamond, here this -- you were anonymously quoted as having emphasized how important a hoist mechanism is. This is good. I recently posted to MyInfo asking about a hoist for version 4, and was told it was too difficult, but if enough people posted asking for it they would reconsider.
But something I read here in a post the other day is making me wonder about the applicability of ndxCards as a storage place for data. I have always thought of it in terms of application for "applied" use, ie for a project such as a paper, or book. But I wonder how many people use it as a storage depot, an archive.
And given Graham's glowing references to WhizFolders over the last while, I wonder how WhizFolders and ndxCards stack up against each other, recognizing that their is not a complete overlap of funcctions.
And while I am wondering, though we had a lot of talk about IdeaMason's latest version (and some disillusionment, if I recall), I haven't seen anything on the latest version of Biblioscape -- anyone here using it? How does it compare? I know the notes feature was really beefed up.
Cheers,
Daly

Daly,
Where does one access the ndxCards forum? I couldn't find it on their web site. Perhaps I am blind. Thanks.

Hi Steve,
The url is http://www.ndxcards.com/support/forum/default.asp
To get there more intuitively, choose "Suporr." Then click on the minute word "Forum." Easy to miss.
