I am going to publish an intermediate release in a couple of weeks (https://launchpad.net/basket/+milestone/2.10b). If somebody can make packages, that would be nice. > Within each basket# dir is all the "data" for that basket.

Now we actually have basket#-hhmmss and note#-hhmmss.html: current time is substituted to simplify merging of baskets from two machines. Text items were used before and still can be found in the Welcome basket, however only creation of html notes is possible in qt4 version AFAIU. Thanks for the description text, probably we can make a wiki page on Github.
