Tom,
I'm not a Java programmer, so I don't have a clue how the Eclipse SDK works - something you write about when creating a new information type. Is there some documentation about creating plug-ins from scratch? I think I have a Java CSV file editor somewhere on the hard drive... (I do have some Python, Perl and VB experience.)
Anyway, I've been testing lots of PIM/Notebook apps, including programs like Scrivener and One Note. My Advanced Project (I'm an adult student working on my BA) is related to Data Management and I'm kind of leaning towards exploring how an average user manages a lifetime of assorted data.
RIM has a lot of points in its favor but it isn't exactly friendly to non-programmers. I'm specifically thinking about the whole dropping rules onto the sys-tray field. Not really getting that - although I did manage to do it.
You don't really advertise it as a general user tool, so I can understand if you don't want to get into the "for dummies" territory. But if you would, maybe I can start over, with questions that we can document?
Thanks,
Terry

Sure. Btw, the high barrier to get started is in not the intention, so if you have any particular suggestions to improve that, please let us know (you can file a bug at http://bugs.eclipse.org)
I don't know if you have already read some documentation, the most important links are:
1. General documention
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Remus
3. Some Screencasts
http://www.youtube.com/user/RemusIM?feature=mhee
3. Regarding Task Management
http://remus-software.org/2011/06/19/how-to-use-remus-as-task-management-application/
4. The integration of Business intelligence
http://www.richclient2.de/2009_11_23/building-reports-of-your-local-information-pool-with-birt-and-remus/
Regarding your CVS file:
What do you exactly want to do with this file? - I'm asking this, because for Remus the more relevant question is which information you want to manage, not which dataformat. - So CSV is an input (e.g. for a drop-rule) but not an information type (information types have an explicit semantic, CSV can be everything)
Cheers
Tom
