"We will watch for it. In the meantime we're getting ready to introduce the Fargo-WordPress connection, using our proxy server. Reluctantly, because it seems like a total waste of resources. But the connection between the products is too juicy. Say hi to Matt for me. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"Me too. But back then if you wanted to make money with outliners you had to make it do production work. Intellectual work wasn't enough. The channel was supreme, and the market while it seemed huge at the time was pretty small. This time around however I want production to have its proper role, at the edges, with the intellectual activity at the center." - Dave Winer

"It seems that would be an adequate solution. What's the exact language in the HTTP spec?" - Dave Winer

"Thanks it's nice to know when one's work is appreciated! :-)" - Dave Winer

"Thanks for the tip, sorry we missed it (we did a lot of unnecessary work). We're already starting to work on integrating it into Fargo. This is going to be very cool! :-)" - Dave Winer

"Don't understand what this refers to, and what you're looking for. Maybe a bit of a narrative might help." - Dave Winer

"Eric, I think it's a great idea -- and here's what I recommend. Before you can use it in your classes, you should become fluent with the software. And give us a chance to smooth out some of the things that might now be confusing. It might just take a few weeks to get there, or a couple of months. But to rush it that's not likely to work." - Dave Winer

"I think Fargo itself will be fairly usable on Android before too long, but the more the merrier. OPML all the way! :-)" - Dave Winer

"Oooh. Sorry about that. My memory is not so good. So the sequence is me, Andrew, Dan. I'll fix the story." - Dave Winer

"You're right -- that requires a URL so is not a solution. How about this: 1. Copy the file to your Fargo folder. 2. Open it from the File/Open command. Dave" - Dave Winer

"Fargo is the full-featured outliner, Little Outliner is entry-level. You can read about it here. http://smallpicture.com/fargoP... Dave" - Dave Winer

"I have to wait to hear what Kyle thinks, but from my first look -- yes -- that looks like what we need. :-)" - Dave Winer

"Is that somehow a solution to this problem?" - Dave Winer

"It's not silly. We hope to have an answer for this sometime soon. Dave" - Dave Winer

"Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Can you provide some info about what happened? Do you think it was a problem with Dropbox or Fargo, or an interaction between the two." - Dave Winer

"We address that question in the Press Guide. http://smallpicture.com/fargoP... Dave" - Dave Winer

"Yes, it's in the same place." - Dave Winer

"This always happens when enthusiastic and helpful nerds show up around a product that is designed for thinkers and organizers. I wouldn't worry about it, and don't think of yourself as a 10 year old! There are all kinds of people in the world, and we need super-nerds to keep it spinning. We also need thinkers! :-)" - Dave Winer

"The question about selection has come up before. http://threads2.scripting.com/... The Enter key is explained in the Outliner Howto. http://smallpicture.com/outlin... Skip down to the section about Return vs Enter. Dave" - Dave Winer

"You can edit the CSS to change the colors to less imposing ones. I agree about search." - Dave Winer

"I'm curious to see how you use color. Would it be possible to upload a screen shot?" - Dave Winer

"There's a privacy section at the end of the About outline." - Dave Winer

"Hi Steve, the Enter key toggles between structure and text mode." - Dave Winer

"That's a choice you have to make. There are reasons to use either product at different times." - Dave Winer

"I haven't written that section of the About page yet, but I will, probably this morning. To answer this specific question: We could access the content of files in the Fargo folder of your dropbox, but we don't. The only time our server is involved is when you import OPML from outside Fargo into Fargo. Dave" - Dave Winer

"No, it can't get there from inside the web browser." - Dave Winer

"The other person can only read the outline, they can't edit it." - Dave Winer

"Use the Edit Attributes command in the Outliner menu." - Dave Winer

"How to create a link node (a headline with a bookmark icon): 1. Make sure there's a URL on the clipboard. 2. In Fargo, click on the wedge next to the headline you want to turn into a link node. This gets you into structure mode. 3. Click the link icon in the left sidebar. 4. Paste the URL. 5. Click OK. That's it. The "trick" is to be sure you're in structure mode. I should probably add this to the Outliner Howto. Let me know if it works." - Dave Winer

"I think we have to make it persist and put it somewhere out of the way. I copied Google for prior art when I did the cribsheet. But now that I've seen more how other people do it, I think we could do a better job... But I'm delighted you love Fargo. We do too. It's very liberating. ;-) Dave" - Dave Winer
