In fact, it became a sort of dual brain for me. Thanks for producing such a great piece of software. Today I read a Wired article about SuperMemo: http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/16-05/ff_wozniak?currentPage= =3D1 SuperMemo is a flashcard program that calculates the best time to show you a piece of information in order to optimise its retention. Apparently, the methodology is very useful to load lots of information into the brain. I think that memory is very important, because when the information is within the brain, it is much easier to make connections and see the whole picture. While reading the article, I thought that the supermemo algorithm should be implemented within org-mode. After all, all my information is in .org files. My *Org-Agenda* could show me, everyday, the items I should to check again in order to retain them in my brain. In fact, watching SuperMemo's screenshots, I saw that this program has many features that are similar to org-mode. For example, look at this: http://www.supermemo.com/help/images/thumb/9/9b/Contents_window.jpg/528px= -Contents_window.jpg I'm not a programmer at all, therefore I cannot implement this myself. Do you know if somebody already started such a project? Are there any plans to do so?
