Focus: Research and Writing

This Tinderbox weekend will focus on using Tinderbox for research, writing, and scholarship from planning and brainstorming to document export. We'll range broadly across Tinderbox features, from planning with maps and outlines to designing networks of collaborative agents.

Well explore new Tinderbox feature of special interest in research, including access to external resources, set attributes, using stamps for qualitative analysis. Well also examine Tinderbox export to the Web and to print. Tinderbox stretchtext and other advanced techniques will be made simple.

Included in the course materials will be Mark Bernstein's new volume, The Tinderbox Way, a 240-page book that explores Tinderbox from the foundations of its design to the latest techniques and practices for using Tinderbox to make, analyze, and share notes.

The weekend will include plenty of material for people new to Tinderbox, and well have lots of examples of Tinderbox applications in diverse fields. (Speakers are subject to change)
