I recently bought NeO and I am having a bit of trouble understanding it. I have tried googeling for resources, but NeO does not seem to have that many users. I am looking for a place to discuss NeO usage and/or pointers to documentation besides the included help file.

I'll be following this question. I've been somewhat of an outlining software for Mac geek since the ancient days of ThinkTank and MORE, but I'd never heard of NeO. Just the screenshots look intimidating. – Negrino Mar 11 '11 at 18:56
If you are interested in outliners, I would recommend you take a look at Tree outliner which brings a fresh look to outlines. It's also quite intuitive and easy to use. – fnurl Mar 13 '11 at 9:50
Anyone here remember Acta, David Dunham's cool little DA outliner? I used to love it. I too am an outliner "freak" but find most modern implentations too complex for simple hierarchical list making and writing. – Richard Jul 19 '12 at 11:48

I don't know of any place specifically to discuss Neo, but I've been using it for a few years (used to be called Tao) and it is my most used application on my computer. I own licenses for Neo and OmniOutliner and Neo is just much much much more configurable and powerful. It has a bit of a learning curve, but it's an amazing piece of software. In the Windows world I used to use Ecco Pro, which is also amazing and free nowadays.

Thanks, I have given NeO a rest for the time being. I do see how it is more "powerful" than e.g. Omnioutliner, but at the moment, I do not have the time to put into it. I am however using Tinderbox and Stapler. Tinderbox for organized notes and Stapler as a scratchpad. – fnurl May 6 '11 at 7:09

I assume you have checked out the manual on the download page? Also see this old TAO/OmniOutliner review at ATPM.

I also sure would like to find a newsgroup/forum though...
