Hi
We are a group of developers interested in producing feature-rich cross-platform note-taking application.
Out initial idea is that it would include many of the features of applications like MyBase, Surfulator but perhaps allow the flexible positioning of notes on a page like in BasketNotes or OneNote.

In addition to having standard note-taking functions (assigning notes in a tree-like structure) that is being able to capture entire or partial selections of web pages, and have the ability to add notes about the webclippings.

We envisage that the base version of the software will be open-source and free. A paid pro version will help pay for the high cost of developing the program.

Suggestions on the following would be very much appreciated:

- features you would like to see
- features you hope that we will AVOID :)
- practical considerations regarding building a robust application.
