I picked up a copy of Tinderbox today to help me churn out as much documentation as possible in the next few days. The hunt for a replacement at my current employer hasn’t gotten very far, and as such the only knowledge transfer will be between myself and the document.

I decided that instead of delivering a hastily organized monolithic Word document, I’d deliver a nicely organized set of hyperlinked HTML pages, which can then be organized into a hastily organized monolithic Word document after I’m done.

Tinderbox is really amazing, and a little bewildering (this does seem to be the season for bewildering applications). It can be used for outlining, visual brainstorming, project planning, read and write data from the internet, and cook a mean souffle. It’s doing a great job at the first task I’ve chosen for it, and I’m sure that using it more often will suggest more things I can do with it.
