III PKM In Action
16 Pomegranate for Project and Task Management
16.1 How PKM it can be used?
It is the integration of the different modules that shows the power and versality of pomegranate…
17 Pomegranate for Personal Development
Journal and planner…
goal and research: goals about research to do or resources to read. conversely, readings starting new goals and tasks.
link goal to journal. when you work on a goal.
goals: power of review old important readings and the highlights on them.
healing power of journaling, confronting the emotions
why planning, journal, documenting the readings, and publishing: sn, majda attacks
keep references, when I talk about an idea that I read, listen or watched aobut, I should be able to reference its source… not just I heard sth and the other one cannot read more about it.
data scattering, duplicate problem
locating very old files
how to read a book - support for excerpt. not necessarily physically done.
sns is not a first class citizen. it should be linked to journal, task, or writing entry. a record can be linked to many photos, not just one.
18 Pomegranate for Writing and Publishing
Append to writing, notes vs. edit them
vs word processor.
the goal is to make very efficient updating to lots of writings at the same time. This reflects how a writer’s mind work. Not serial work over a single topic. That’s very important to do but that’s not the only type of activity. ofter we have many ideas to be put under many writings
Two options to public course writings and notes: individually as posts then order them in the blog, or export the the whole course writings and notes as a single page, then publish that page.
xcd store new ideas in a writing record, then as they stabilize and grow in size, split them to notes attached to the writing record.
19 Pomegranate for Researches and Students
Journal and academic
Citations
Actionns on resource records:
Fetch Bib entry
Generate citations
PKM fetches Bibtex entry for the book from the internet (?), and then generate the citation in the format defined in the settings and in three format: plain text, Html and AsciiCode. But you can edit them if need be.
Batch action: Fetch Bib entry
Generate citations for all those that have ISBN but not bib entry, or no citations…
config, citation style format.
Saved search to see the records that will be processed…
Footnote expand
Getting resource metadata
One way is by parsing the bib tex entry… so it is one way to get (basic set) of metadata…
journal Indicators
time tracking: planned task duration, actual duration, goal progress
quantitative/precise time tracking for tasks qualitative progress tracking for goals
general for dept, ind type, activity type time budget
track # ticks. define indicators that start with the letter trk e.g. trk_web
Indicators dual function. to make sure data changes reflect that you do vs accidental folder move etc.
indicator can calculate query and number of files with a certain extension in a folder on the server of your choice…
monkey work, typing paper handwritten, transcribing voice notes, K sessions. The important part is to have the paper notes and voice notes sequenced and clear to allow typing them without thinking
Uses Quotes linked to topics or writings. Review them together and see their similarities, contradictions, differences. You can try to combine them in one synthesis.
19.1 Voice note integration
vcn autoimport by location vs filename rename.
First scan of them to transcribe immediatly some of them, trash the unneeded ones, split by module as in photos. Intentionally, a minimal level of work is needed before an import to ensure a review of files, sensing that they represent a load, not just throw out files in a system and hoping that it will magically get things organized for you. Garbage in, garbage out. To decrease the possibility at mass import of unneeded files.
writing status, transcribed, markcomplete will does this
voice notes integration, is an example of knowledge in action. one minute talk, followed by hours to integration the feature, and months to form the habit.
19.2 Lean publishing
to blogs, “good blogs are beta books”. expot easily the books. from here, platforms for lean publising takes your books to the distributions level.
saved search wnj updated after publishing but the change need not be in a field that does not affect the post information e.g. the status of a post is not posted to the blog.
19.3 Track milestone and notable events
little “gadgets”, you can define the date you first started using Pomegranate in the settings. You will see a counter of days and years in the status region. You can define any date you like, for instance, your age. This way you can keep track of how old you are in days.

Pomegranate PKM does not work in isolation. It integrates with a variety of other software, mostly open source too, to get the job done. It is part of a software and hardware ecosystem. Such ecosystem is the subject of my blog at SoftwareGems.org.
Pomegranate grew out of experimenting and applying new ideas suggested by books and courses. Such ideas and books are the subject of my blog at 2fkar.org.
21 Collaboration
3 ways to user Pomegranate PKM
personal, single account
flat open collarobation, wiki style
admin sees all and control what each one can see. less feature, no arbitrary query feature available. responsability shits to the admin to design the right saved searches for them. they can add, and see the records allowed in the saved search -# Pomegranate Under the hood
Developed in Grails framework 2.2.3 (although the first version was in 1.1.1), which is based on Groovy language, a dynamic language on top of the Java platform. Grails applications runs can run it on any platform that supports Java, so practically all platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac. Tomcat is the recommended and open source application server to run it.
