It's similar to TomBoy, but does things a bit differently. I've been using it for all of my note taking lately. It has a few minor quirks, but definitely worth trying.

The Grumpy Editor's guide to note-taking applications Posted Feb 22, 2007 17:56 UTC (Thu) by moxfyre (subscriber, #13847) [Link] I really don't understand why Gnome switched from the old "Sticky Notes" applet (written in C, not bloated) to Tomboy (Mono-based, severely bloated).
I, for one, have simply refused to switch. Ubuntu and Debian still include the old "Sticky Notes" applet in the gnome-applets package. The old Gnome Sticky Notes has the basic features I need, and none of the bloat. I'd encourage those looking for a lightweight Gnome solution to use the old applet instead.
It mystifies me why Gnome chose a Mono-based program for one of the desktop applets. Needlessly wasteful, in my opinion.
For wiki notetaking features, I prefer Newton Desktop Wiki (http://newton.sourceforge.net/) which is written in Python. Snappy and lightweight, could be easily transformed into a sticky notes application.
