When I am at that stage (writing the first draft of a work), the emphasizes lies more on the writing/printing/publishing/output. On Emacs for example Muse-Mode is better suited for that. The strengths of Org-Mode are more in the beginning of work, when one is collecting the data and developing structures, concepts and relationships. > Related to outlining, I am wondering if anybody here uses graphical > tools like concept maps?

I can imagine using this as some sort of process-management tool. For example to illustrate who is doing what in a working team under which condition. Basically as sort of communications help. > How would linking words work? They are usually verbs to > build the propositions and it seems awkward to make those headlines. As far as I understand the concept, it seems reasonable to make the propositions (sub)headlines and to put the linkage-information beneath the headlines.
