Actually, sounds like you might enjoy Red Notebook (which has progressed vastly since I last took a look at it, about 18 months ago). You'll find it on http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/

Team solutions #1: Text development

The basic version of Plone handles everything as HTML, but you can add all sorts of plug-ins, including a powerful PDF export option.
You can also add the source files in their original formats as at...
CintaNotes out of beta
11/10/2011
Yes, actually, the latest versions of TomBoy are really quite cool, although for some reason I don't really "like" TomBoy. Something about the rather crude look-n-feel annoys me. But it's a very power...
As so often, it really depends on what you want to do with the documents you're managing. Do you want to be able to export them in their original form? Search through them "seamlessly"? Incorporate th...

Sorry, Alexander, just recently read through this thread. We're currently testing Plone in-house for precisely this kind of collaboration (it's also a great outliner platform, in fact, provided you're...
CintaNotes out of beta
11/9/2011
My fave notes organiser on Linux has always been BasketNotes, the closest thing to OneNote on a Linux platform (but with the advantage that it has its own rather powerful search/filtering system built...
Hi Alexander - aha, I've found that the guys/gals at Soonr are more than happy to discuss pricing, and have considerable latitude in that regard. You could do worse than talk to the salesperson I've b...
Apart from Agent Ransack, another really very good - and free! - search tool you could look at is DocFetcher (a sourceforge project). This handles European and other characters very well in its previe...
Thoughts about forum protocol

... also, I am genuinely upset by the thought that there are interesting, thoughtful people out there who have left this forum following some argument or disagreement. Let's all stay the course, boyz ...
Thoughts about forum protocol
11/3/2011
ON FORUM PROTOCOL (yes, I know, embarrassing, and probably not my place, but...):
Quite a lot of the people involved in this forum are obviously powerful characters, with strong Views on what is/isn'...
Hi Fredy,
Sorry, just caught sight of your post about UTF-8: interesting point. And in fact, to an extent, you're right - Agent Ransack doesn't "see" European characters correctly in e.g. RTF files (...
Have to agree that Agent Ransack / FileLocator Lite is very capable - the Pro version is also very capable, incidentally. But even the Lite version can search through MS Office files, and supports UTF...
With all due respect, Fredy, there are literally dozens of more or less competent multiple application launchers out there - a quick Google is all it takes. Not so many of them associated with compete...
For those who like spreadsheets/spreadsheet-like organisational methods, it's worth taking a look at Simple Groupware (which has a built-in Simple Spreadsheet) or at the latest beta of Feng Office.
I...
Great list, Alexander - thanks! I'll look into some of those. Something we're experimenting with currently - with pretty good results - is a service called soonr.com, which synchronises files across m...
You might also want to take a good, hard look at TiddlyWiki. I haven't played with tiddlywiki for a long time, but it's still evolving, and it's easier than ever to set up a hosted tiddlywiki service ...
Moving a little way away from notetakers and/or outliners, you might also want to look at Soonr (www.soonr.com), which offers a file synchronisation service with extra features - notably full-text sea...
Rats! No, not absolutely perfect after all - unfortunately it trashes the folder structure (or rather, it extracts all subfolder content and copies it to the top level/root folder. Shame. I use folder...
Actually, that's very nearly absolutely perfect! ResophNotes finds all my WriteUp notes without problems - doesn't recognise folders, but does drill down into subfolders and show all text notes. And i...
I like Zim, but I haven't encountered ResophNotes - and I find it supports Markdown! Very interesting. Could revolutionize my fast, cross-platform note-taking experience!
Cheers,
Bill
Agree about AM-Notebook - potentially very good, but search is slo-o-o-ow.
Another great solution is KeepNote (freebie). Stores notes as separate HTML files, so you can have quite sophisticated notes...
Reflexive outlining with several outliners
10/20/2011
Fascinating. I'm glad to find I'm not the only one who uses multiple outliners/applications to write things - I've always been rather embarrassed by this, because I often find myself playing around wi...
Ah, yes, have to agree with that one, Sam! It is remarkably, unexpectedly disconcerting!
Cheers,
Bill
Splendid fellow, Sam! I agree with Egil - case is not important (in fact, non-discrimination is preferable!), but basic Boolean search support would be brilliant.
That really would turn Noteliner int...
Hi guys 'n' gals! Sorry, been very, very busy (but not complaining!), so haven't posted here for a while. Just thought I'd respond to Egil's interesting query, however. I've just been corresponding wi...
