(2025-03-30) O'Connor Beauty of the Forester Idea

Liam O'Connor: The beauty of the Forester idea is that it's a wiki, but not of articles. You create a graph of definitions, remarks, notes, thoughts, theorems, results or anything really, and then you can construct a narrative (or multiple!) by transcluding (transclusion) a subgraph of these. Hierarchy and content can be entirely separate, or partly merged. It's super flexible. One thing I've noticed in my ~10 years of lecturing courses is that I often re-use little bits of material from one course to another. If all my lecture notes are from Forester, this process is made effortless. It's almost addictive to make lecture notes in it.
