The next step in my Scripting2 integration project is to look into s2's most fascinating beast: the Instant Outliner

s2's IO started its convoluted life in Radio Userland back in 2002. Four years later, it made a sneak appearance in the OPML Editor.
The IO is a very clever way to narrate your work inside a workgroup in a structured manner.
Because of the outline structure, IO is all that Twitter isn't. It's much more than a simple status update or alert.
It works best for a small team, usually less than 12 people.
The Instant Outliner is still in its infancy.
  Its early days were marred with refresh issues. Its father, Dave Winer, insists he has found the ideal way of propagating update notices without hogging bandwidth.
My goal is to create a browser based interface to the instant outline inside iJot.
I see the buddies outline living in iJot's right pane, probably under a 'buddies' tab between tweets and notes
The top bar in buddies will have a 'Refresh' button to check for updates in the buddies outline.
It will also have a 'My Outline' button to load your version of the instant outline in iJot's main outliner.
  In addition, you'll be able to access your instant outline by selecting it in the 'my site' tab of the left sidebar, under 'Bookmarks'.
Eventually, we will need way to define the IO server's url in the account preferences, as well as defining and joining workgroups.
