Gnote was started on April 2009 with the goal of providing a Free Software implementation of Tomboy that doesn't rely on Mono.For our testing purposes, I installed Gnote 0.5.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty through a personal PPA. I would love to see it packaged in Ubuntu officially in the near future.
A FAVOURITE project of ours, Gnote, has just achieved another major milestone/release, which constitutes a potential migration away from Novell's troublesome Mono. The new software is already being pushed for inclusion in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and Debian GNU/Linux too.
The new release of Gnote and its significance. A former Novell engineer has just released a new version of Gnote, whose great value we explained in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The project is growing quickly because it's mostly a constructive port to Microsoft-independent grounds.
Your editor has long been a user of the Tomboy note-taking tool. Tomboy makes it easy to gather thoughts, organize them, and pull them up on demand; it is, beyond doubt, a useful productivity tool. But all is not perfect with Tomboy. Some people have complained about its faults for a while; Hubert Figuiere, instead, chose to do something about it in the form of the Gnote utility.
