Definitely a fair question. (03)
I use Compendium (actually, I still use its predecessor, QuestMap,
quite a bit) for three things: (04)
* Taking shared notes during meetings. When we have teleconferences
at Blue Oxen, I usually take notes on Compendium. Participants
see the notes go up live via VNC. I also use Compendium/QuestMap
a lot for requirements gathering with clients. (05)
* Group, face-to-face facilitation. I haven't done much of this
recently, but I think it's wonderful for this. I can't tell you
how many times I've participated in meetings over the past two
years and have thought to myself, "These folks need Compendium
very badly." (06)
* Occasionally for personal note-taking. Usually as a poor man's
Visio. I mostly use Wikis for personal note-taking, but I find
the graphical nature of Compendium useful on occasion. (07)
