I found a new trick. Sheetplanner is a sort of to-do list/project manager that will do most of what OmniOutliner will do, and it will do one really nifty think OmniOutliner won't. You can hide them if you don't want to use them, but Sheetplanner has start, finish, and other date columns. You can also make your own columns, but the standard start/finish/completion columns are used in a timeline view. It's pretty neat. You can outline and get a start on a timeline within the outliner. OmniOutline supports custom columns, so you can make similar columns there. No outline view, but you can capture the data data as you outline. From either Sheetplanner or OmniOutliner, you can export to CSV. Aeon Timeline will read the file. If you included columns for things like observer and participant, Aeon Timeline will fill in the event grid appropriately. Hint - if you want multiple participants, enter them separated by commas. Another slick thing is to export to OPML from either outliner and use pandoc to convert to docx. That gets you your outline with headers for your topics, with the notes from your topics in the document. Turn on the navigator in your word processor, and it's a little like having a Scrivener binder on your Word file (or Nisus, since Nisus will translate the docx, preserving the headers). Fun stuff.
