Einstein had a good quote for this but I'd rather not be so blunt.


I just spent quite a bit of time describing the possible UI, but you chose
to hang on the "alternative" UI of which I don't have that many concrete
suggestions about. Is it just me, or are you just inherently negative about
this suggestion, or the fact that the discussion is taking place in this
list, as opposed to some other list?

I feel that there are several possibilities on how the UI and features of
this app could be approached. And I don't have details on all of them.
Wikipedia-like UI is just one approach, another being the email-like
approach (of which I gave quite a few tangible suggestions). Does the fact
that I don't know everything or have an opinion about everything mean that I
shouldn't say anything at all?

Like I said earlier, if you take the time to write a list of

I already gave quite a bit of tangible ideas. And bugreports to what,
exactly? Basket? Basket is not really suited for this task. I think it would
be easier to write a new app that is aimed specificly at this task, as
opposed to try to shoehorn an app that has other goals in mind in to this.
