Jon M Sterling<\/a>, a computer scientist at Cambridge University, has created his own \u2018mathematical Zettelkasten\u2019, which he also calls \u2018a forest of evergreen notes\u2019.
He maintains a very interesting website<\/a>, built using a tool he created, named, appropriately enough, Forester.
The implementation of his ideas raises all sorts of ideas and questions for me, almost all enthusiastic. Here are a few in no order at all:
Andy Matuschak coined the term \u2018evergreen notes\u2019, which Jon Sterling has further developed with great elegance.<\/blockquote>

Before seeing Jon Sterling\u2019s site, I had held a simple distinction between the Zettlekasten and the Wiki. I don\u2019t really wish to re-open an old argument, but just want to make a small observation. For me, a Wiki is a public- or semi-public facing product in its own right, a kind of publication, whereas a Zettelkasten is a method or process to produce public-facing artifacts, but it isn\u2019t one of these artifacts itself. But now I wonder whether you can\u2019t do both back-stage and front-stage at the same time. In other words, it looks to me like Jon Sterling is creating a Zettelkasten by my definition (it\u2019s a process to produce public-facing artifacts such as articles and presentations), but he\u2019s working with the garage door open (it\u2019s a kind-of product in its own right). This is an interesting thing to watch, and it\u2019s always fun to experience the mystique of the studio.<\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>
