106 ;;Quote: an Agenda category is an ordered list of items and notes that structure the database; e.g., 'Things to read', 'Errands'
106 ;;Quote: Agenda categories become the words of a language for describing information and its interrelationships
106 ;;Quote: an Agenda view is an assignment of items/notes to one of several categories
107 ;;Quote: structure arises out of the grouping of similar items and intergroup relationships; and not from hypertext links between items
107 ;;Quote: a personal information system must allow free format text, dynamically defined structure, and arbitrary report formats
108 ;;Quote: Agenda categories form a hierarchy; items implicitly assigned to their parents
108+;;Quote: if an Agenda category is exclusive, only one sub-category per item; mutual exclusion
108 ;;Quote: an Agenda view is constructed by arranging categories in rows and columns; selection, demarcation, and annotation
108+;;Quote: an Agenda view selects items; divides into section lists by category; annotates each item by categories
110 ;;Quote: Agenda can assign conditions for automatically adding items to a category
110+;;Quote: Agenda can define actions that execute when an item is added to a category
110+;;Quote: Agenda can tentatively assign an item to a category
111 ;;Quote: Agenda represents fields and values by categories
111+;;Quote: without a fixed field/value orientation, Agenda can present data in any format
111+;;Quote: an Agenda item acts like a unique key and a category corresponds to an indexed, non-key field
114 ;;Quote: Agenda items tend to be filed in only a few places; why filing cabinets work acceptably
115 ;;Quote: Agenda's categories forms a vocabulary for making assertions about items
115+;;Quote: assigning an item to a category makes an assertion about the item; e.g., that Smith will write the press release
115 ;;Quote: Agenda's program-initiated actions can cascade and surprise users who continually fine-tune their database
115+;;Quote: users find that Agenda improves personal organization and effectiveness
