Software components and configuration notes

There are many ways to implement a digital Zettelkasten. An inventory of my software components and configuration files is available at Zettelkasten software components.

Terminological troubles beset the account of note categories in the English translation of How To Take Smart Notes by Sönke Ahrens. This is a lightly modified copy of an article originally posted at Zettelkasten.de. The post is CC BY-SA 4.0 (I'm the author), as is this wiki.

UPDATE: I prefer the terms Source Note and Point Note of Professor Dan Allosso to the terms Literature Note and Permanent Note of Sönke Ahrens. [Since Ahrens writes that Literature Notes are Permanent Notes, the more pedantic formulation is Permanent non-Literature Note.]

It took a while to settle on an index and ID format.
