% Note-taking and meeting facilitation, subsets of a broader set of
% collaborative sensemaking approaches, have definitely been the dominant use
% cases of Compendium for most of its existence, along with more structured
% modeling and analytical uses. Plenty of papers describing these at
% http://www.compendiuminstitute.org/library/papers.htm.
%
% But, to me, what's really interesting about Compendium is not any of these
% individually. It's the ability to interweave them, to create deep
% hypertexts, and to manipulate them in real time (as in live group sessions)
% without programming, as well as to be able to interchange the data and
% metadata created with other sorts of tools and approaches.
%
% Tough to boil this down into a good elevator speech -- I've never been able
% to do it :-).
