For Novel and Screenwriters

Templates for:
Screenplays, manuscripts, etc...

Views for:
- Storyboarding/Index-cards for reorganizing
- Reading (and Interactive Fiction playing?)
- Special Fullscreen ("distraction free") mode for those that believe they need it

Sidebar (Docklets) for:
- Outline (I think Words already has something like this)
- Acts/Chapters/Scenes
- Character Profiles: Bio - History/Background, Relationship (and Geneology?) tracking, Tropes/Archetypes, Personality Types, Advice?, Journey (ie how they develop, where they come from to what they become, Strengths and Weaknesses, Icons/Avatars, Name-Generator, through to fullblown RPG-like Generator
- Events: Lists/Timelines, Story Arcs (even multiple branch ones for interactive fiction/Choose your own adventure?)
- Locations/Items
- Review Tools: for Readability Analysis, Target Audience, etc.
- ToDo/Tasklist
- Snippets/Collections
- Notes/Research

Import/Export Mindmaps

Things I'm not quite sure where to place:
Synopsis/Precis
Themes/Genre
Story Arc Advice?

Snippets can contain links/references

I don't think we have any of that

Maybe except for the beginning of a distraction free mode (ctrl-h)

And I'm sure I don't have time and energy for it.

But the ideas sounds interesting, and much will be doable as dockers and making use of the rdf (semantic info) we have. If someone wants to code (and maintain!) such code I'm not going to stop that someone. However I'm not taking over maintainance of it, so if it becomes unmaintained it will disappear again.
