#2Ah, dwiner, at last my long Linux nightmare of having no decent outliner shall come to an end....
Urf, budgeting the time for this may be a challenge, but odds are good that this can be dropped into a XUL shell to obtain a traditional "local" filesystem outliner with only a few hundred lines more of grease. I'll have to see what I can do. (I've done it once before for something else.)

#3I didn't know what an outliner was:
From the Git page: An outliner is a text editor that organizes information in a hierarchy, allowing users to control the level of detail and to reorganize according to structure. Your notes can have full detail, yet be organized so a casual reader can get a quick overview. Outlining is a great way for teams to organize work.

#4I think more project should be this obvious with their choice of GPL, makes it easier to dismiss :-)

And isn't this just a special case of an object graph where all the objects are strings, the relationships sub-objects can't have two parents and the traversal is over when you've reached a leaf?
What about hierarchies of objects that aren't strings? (I'd like to organize them too).
What about hierarchies that aren't a strict tree? (I can't really do my genealogy on this).
P.S. I like what Dave does with outliners but I'm not sure I'd apply them everywhere he does.

#6GPL? How does this interact (legally) with other running JavaScript? Do I have to make the rest of my site's JavaScript "GPL" as a result?
I'm curious, does the dynamic nature of JavaScript make browser-based GPL Javascript essentially LGPL? Any lawyers or FSF advocates out there know?

I've fiddled with this extensively. The problem isn't data representation; sure, "outlines" are "just" graphs. The question is, what on Earth does your UI look like? Editing "graphs" is hardly more structured than creating a "data editor"... ok, those are some nice English words you've got there, but how does it actually work?
At least by limiting it to text and stuff that looks a lot like text, you can produce a real application that does real things of real value. It may not be suitable for everything, but your thing that is suitable for "everything" is likely come out being suitable for nothing in practice.

Have you ever tried FreeMind? Not an "outliner" like this, but a good way to organize content, and it's Java so it Runs Everywhere™

No decent outliner on Linux? http://orgmode.org/ is by far the best i have seen so far, so could use outline-mode if you do not use any of the extra features. There is something similar to outline-mode for vim users if i remember correctly.

Yes, I use VimOutliner, which is perfect when you already know how to use vim.
