Writing Process / ndxcards functionality on a mac
Lit
I am looking for guidance on the writing process as well as personal
experiences of the tools you work with.
What do you use to organize your writing sources and what do you use
to make your notes etc to form your papers?
Please feel free to go from as detailed as you want to, to as brief as
you would like to.

notecards: slipbox
both tied to bibliography software: bookends
you could probably get away with scrivener and bookends... but i have
grown fond of slipbox
taking notes from pdfs... skim, which exports to slipbox.

Eric: I am cleaning out notational velocity to use it as a quick note taker for sources.
These are excellent resources! Also got another book I am also exploring.

zettelkasten, but integrates with both skim and bookends

Zettelkasten is something totally new to me. I am just discovering it and am referring to these links (for anyone interested)
talks about someone cataloging their ebooks in calibre and zotero using Zettelkasten.
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97855
the website of the software Zettlekasten
http://zettelkasten.danielluedecke.de/en/index.php
The translation of the getting started face - this is what I plan to use to better understand the system and then implement slip box
http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fzettelkasten.danielluedecke.de%2Fwiki%2Fdoku.php
Also reading the review of slipbox which explains the methodology adopted by slipbox
http://db.tidbits.com/article/8720
the benefit of slipbox is that it does 'index cards' like
zettelkasten, but integrates with both skim and bookends

and citation, and zettelkasten is just that, slipbox is too, but

and paste into word or pages, or hit enter in the wrong place and they
reformat your documents. mellel won't and if it ever does, i'm
moving to emacs. in word i spent more time trying to recover from
minor disasters than writing. mellel there aren't any disasters...
yet. basically i'm unixy, i want a word processor that just does
things very well, simply and without much baggage. i also use
writeroom sometimes for the same reason.
