Tomboy is nice, but it tries to do too much.
It does what it has to do to provide useful functionality. > Tomboy looks like a hybrid (or should I say mutant) wiki page system > and mind mapping software.

Tomboy is a little like a useful wiki (don't ever ask me to type in real wikis, I hate them) with a sane interface on your desktop, we could even do a plugin to export wiki code and publish it with say a xml-rpc interface. But for bringing some of the useful nature of a wiki with an interface that's more like what I'm used to, Tomboy is brilliant. Tomboy isn't a mindmapping tools, I guess you could use it like one but I would frankly rather have a real seperate mindmap application, maybe something where I could branch out freely and make mapped items links to a Tomboy note. This would allow for a quick visual overview and revealing more details by opening up the specific subset of thoughts. The idea needs more fleshing out, maybe it could be done as a plugin to Tomboy, although it feels like tying a few cats together to make a horse. > Sticky notes applet is awesome in its simplicity; let's not remove it, > please. Sticky Notes tends to get cluttered up for note taking while project managing, it's an all or nothing interface whereas Tomboy allows me to show only related notes. I normally prefer having only the set of post-it notes I care about displayed rather than having my screen covered in yellow goodness. - David Nielsen _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
