Parent article: Take notes with Tomboy (Linux.com)

The main benefit is that it's a little wiki. You just linkify a phrase, or use a WikiWord, and you have created a new note. You can then expand and organise your notes, mindmap-style.

You also get good desktop integration in the form of an applet, an recent notes, and especially search.

Recent projects aim at making tomboy more networked:

  • exposing notes to the outside - networked tomboy,
  • synchronising them with mail or files - conduit,
  • another synchronization project - blog
With these, tomboy will become still more of a wiki.
