SUGGESTION: Dear Logos, please ask us ...
Recently there have been several threads created or resurrected that show interesting ways users are using electronic Bible study - some more obvious than others. A few that stick in my mind are:
- Notes for hymnals with their links to Scripture
- Tree diagram organizing Scriptural reference to a topic by subtopic
- Mind maps in various styles and applications
- Theological reasoning maps
- Table templates for notes
- Reed-Kellogg sentence diagrams
- Personal non-Logos library
- Bible study templates
It seems to me, Logos, that you should ask to see what we do outside Logos that we wish we could do inside Logos. In addition, we should tell you why we need it in Logos - for the search capabilities, to include in handouts, for reference in classes ...
I know that we are (impatiently) waiting for the remaining promised features and the ability to share our work. I know we have uservoice to air our desires. But I still think its useful for long-term feature planning for Logos to know what we don't use Logos for ... but wished we did.
So come on ... please post examples of your work. There are some very interesting ideas out there.

Martha,
Can you give us an example of what you would personally like to see and why you need it in Logos?

The posts above give various examples from a variety of users. The item that I personally need the most is the ability to build tables/charts. I need them in Logos because they are my fundamental level of note taking - therefore I need Logos' search capabilities on them. What I really want is to have people post what they use in visualization - mind maps, diagrams, charts, graphic organizers ... - so that we can point Logos to a single thread for them to see what people are doing outside Logos because Logos doesn't meet all their Bible study needs. Students are being taught more and more visually and Logos needs to keep up with people's study tools.
There was a link a few months ago to some of the visualization tools that the Logos scholars get to use. I was jealous. Unfortunately I don't remember enough of the context to find it again - but it would provide additional examples of current linguistic, literary and theological visualization tools.
