comparison leo outline type with other outliner's types?

[Todd Mars]

I remember reading -somewhere- about comparing various multi-parent or multi-copy of node outline types (clones vs. backlinks or whatever) but I can't find where I read that. Where is it?  Desire to read analysis, isn't that in the leo docs somewhere?
Thanks!
Todd.

There was quite a lot of discussion about various topologies on this
list a while ago, but I don't recall a condensed synthesis of the topic.

Personally I think Leo could navigate cyclic graphs, see
http://leo.zwiki.org/GraphsInTrees particularly the 'Older notes'
section towards the end. But it's a major issue with regard to all the
algorithms which don't expect to run in to loops. And the extra layer
of connections from the backlinks plugin allows the same functionality,
so it may be that it's more an interface issue than a data model issue.

I'd like Leo to be able to behave like CmapTools,
http://cmap.ihmc.us/ but maybe it can, essentially, and it's really a
matter of defining some new interface bells and whistle's.
