NOTENET
Version 0.5
Latest version and source code available at sourceforge.net/projects/notenet
Created and Maintained by Edwin Monk-Fromont
Contact edwin.monkfromont@gmail.com

------------------------------------------------

Requirements:

NoteNet depends on Java 7. Please download and install the latest JRE or JDK from www.java.com/getjava/

At present the application is only known to run on 32 bit Windows machines, though the osx, amd64, and i386 versions are not far off functional.

------------------------------------------------

To Run:

Unpack the archive to a convenient location on your computer, and double-click NoteNet.jar to run the executable.

------------------------------------------------

Getting Started:

To connect to your Evernote account, click the 'sync' button (looks like refresh). This will prompt you to login to Evernote and allow access to NixNote, then will download any notes and notebooks you already have stored in that account.

The next step is to set up the links between related notes. Click the 'network' button (looks like a small tree of circles and lines). This will ask Evernote which notes are related, and store this information in a local database. Depending on the number of notes you have, this may take a few minutes.

If you would like the association network to update to reflect notes you have modified or added, you must first 'sync' and then 'network' again (as the association is determined by Evernote rather than locally).

------------------------------------------------

Standard Mode:

In standard mode, NoteNet mostly works in just the same way as NixNote (User guide available at http://www.evernote.com/pub/baumgarr/nevernote), with the addition of note suggestions. Notes that might be related to your current work are suggested in a box at the bottom of the screen. You can
	1) Click a suggestion to open that note
	2) Right click inside a note and select the quick link option to insert a permanent link to a related note into the present note

------------------------------------------------

Visualizer Mode:

In visualizer mode, a visualization of activation spreading among the association network is displayed on the right. This can be turned on or off within Edit > Preferences > Appearance (requires restart). Because this is based on a javascript library hosted online, you will require an internet connection.

------------------------------------------------

Researcher Mode:

In researcher mode, the visualization is displayed, plus the parameters guiding the spreading activation behaviour are able to be modified. 

	1) Maximum Activated Notes (Number of notes to leave active after each iteration)
	2) Activation Fade Proportion (Proportion activation to take from activated notes before each iteration)
	3) Spreading Activation Dampening (0 = will not spread, 0.5 = halve spread, 1 = spread fully, 2 = double spread)
	4) Minimum Activation Threshold (Minimum activation required to spread activation on to neighbours)
	
Manipulating these will result in different patterns of activation emerging.
