Tomboy updates

Hello Planet GNOME! Thank you jdub for including me here.

Just thought I'd give an update on how the Tomboy project is going. GNOME 2.18 will mark the second time Tomboy's been officially included as a GNOME Project. Some of the new features for this upcoming release (Tomboy 0.6.0) are:

  • Bulleted list support (Chris Scobell rocks!)
  • Pinned menu items (you won't lose important notes from your main Tomboy context menu)
  • Configurable plugins (easy to enable/disable them)
  • And many others...
Other non-coding updates:
I've been familiar with GNOME for quite a few years, but this is the first opportunity I've taken to help maintain a project. There's a lot I've still got to learn, but so far it's been a very positive experience. I'm always asking people whether they use Tomboy or not and what they'd like to see improved. If you have ideas, please let me know!

Bullets! Bullets! Wooooooooooooooo!

You made my day.

Since you asked for ideas, I'd like to be able to access my tomboy notes from more than one machine. Say, my laptop and my Nokia N800.

Accessing Tomboy notes from multiple machines/devices is the biggest feature that's asked for, so thanks for pointing it out.

We're working with Conduit (http://www.conduit-project.org/) at the moment for a possible solution to much of this problem although there may be other ways as well. As soon as we have GNOME 2.18 wrapped up, this will be where my focus moves to.
