All,<br>
<br>
I'd like to recommend Gnote as a note-taking application for the
Xubuntu default installation. Gnote is an actively maintained C++
ongoing fork of Tomboy. I know that Xfce has a notes plugin, but the
functionality of Gnote is much better. <br>
<br>
Here's information on the Lucid package: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Here's information on the software itself: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Commit info to show maintenance: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
I am not necessarily recommending it for the default panel
installation, but just to be included. I've used it extensively from
within Xubuntu Karmic and have been very impressed with how it
works. It does not require the xfapplets plugin to appear in the
notification area.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>

How is the functionality better? (I don't personally use
xfce4-notes.) How does it stack up performance-wise?<br>

For my note-making needs, the Xfce notes plugin works perfectly. Even
if the new version is IMO a bit more complex/not as intuitive, it's
still very simple and does what it is supposed to do.<br>

I didn't find any good screenshots of Gnote easily. Jim, could you
post a few somewhere (showing off the core features/features you
think makes a difference between Gnote/Xfce applet) and link to them?
Thanks in advance :)<br>
<br>
I'm open in including it, if it's as good as you say.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
