Talk:Accessories

An "equation" accessory might be useful - two uses spring to mind:

---

1) Costings:

If the nodes were all the items required for some project, a cost could be attached to each and the sum of all the values in the child nodes.

Special escapes could be used in the node text:

"parent node $[SUM]" "child node1 text $[32.7]" "child node2 text $[12.7]"

when the parent node is not being edited it sould display:

"parent node 45.4"

---

2) Decision making:

assign a value, +ve or -ve to various factors that might influence some decision, with the root showing tha balance.

e.g should I move house?

mail redirection hassle $[-0.3] more space $[+4] tax $[-5] current annoying neighbours [+10] etc. etc.

Any thoughts?
