What is it?
A Cross Platform Outline System for Encyclopedic Notes
What if you wanted to carry all your notes, textbooks, pictures and references with you at all times?
And edit them anywhere and link them together so that there was no redundancy?
And include pictures, video, or any file or your computer?
And you could publish your notes as a web site with the same functionality?
If you've asked yourself these questions, Buzz may be for you.
I use Buzz to carry all of my orthopedic textbooks, notes, images and references.
Buzz runs on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, iPaq and Palm OS via Plucker
An XML Editor/Creator
Buzz is a non validating XML editor.
In addition it can create a schema for a set of XML files that can be used
to generate new documents using the XML from that set, sometimes called "Schema by Example"
A Translator
Buzz was designed to import and export any of it's formats.
