Emacs Categorizing Information Manager - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

Ee is the categorizing information manager for Emacs.  It works by collecting data from different sources and converting data to a relational or associative Emacs database. It uses fields of database records to build category trees, which are displayed in Emacs view buffer by tree views (outlines).  Ee allows to manipulate data by operating on displayed tree views (expand/collapse outlines, mark and delete data, create new data records, change field values of existing records, call functions on a selected data record or group of records, etc.).  A view buffer can have different views which can be switched between.  View descriptions are stored in a separate Ee database which have fields describing how different views are created from data.  Thus, Ee provides a simple and uniform interface for information display and editing in Emacs.

Currently Ee provides extensions for many Emacs packages and other data sources: Emacs buffers, commands, processes, menu-bar, customization groups, indexes for Info documentation, window configurations, history variables, code finder, etags facility, outline and imenu commands, OS processes (from output of ps), OS program menus and package indexes (for Debian GNU/Linux).  It also provides databases and view files for to-do lists, bookmarks, diaries, etc.
