- I know a little about XML, and it seems quite suitable that a tree-based document could be saved in XML quite easily; so keeping that format as the native one for said note-taking application (like Writer/OOo already is). [Could this then also be a part of the OASIS specification?]
Sorry, I was a little unclear (chalk it up to shocking grammar) on these points. Firstly, allowing for hyperlinking between notes in other tree nodes and other tabs (or even documents in other OOo applications) would add another dimension of organization/cross-referencing to those notes which already have a large amount of very structured information.
The second point there was another suggestion that could be considered for the future would be to export the note documents (i.e., a file with several tabs and in each tab a large tree full of nodes) to an online Wiki system where all the notes could be viewed and edited whilst the structure remains intact. If this was considered, it might also be worth considering allowing the program to (at a later date) download the file again to bring it back into the note-taking application on the desktop (thereby having a "check-out" function). This could aid in collaboration of notes between a large group of people, say developers working on a large software project who need to have documentation on each section of the program.
Thirdly, I was trying (by the looks of it, poorly) to say that these large note filled documents could be saved as XML which would increase portability and, if it was accepted, could then become a part of the OASIS standards specification for XML documents.
Note to self: read emails more carefully before sending in future. Hope that clears some ideas up.
