First thing I did was reinstall Tomboy and purge that sucker. What the hell is this about anyway? Using a sub-par knock-off for some esoteric, idialist reason? Until somebody actually proves to me that Mono is bad in any way, this is very useless and unneeded. BTW, you do prefer Gnote? Are you running Nvidia drivers on that machine? ;) Not happy.

Even Gimp had a big stop in development some years ago and it still there (ops, not for long :) .. ). We'll see what happens. About my peers, who are you referring to ?

Sadly, the romantic image of there always being someone to look after Free Software code doesn't always happen in reality, and projects are abandoned every day. Perhaps you should poke your peers, to see if any of THEM want to take on maintenance duties? http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnote-list/2009-October/msg00001.html

Gnote appears to desperately need some actual developer time. Sadly, the romantic image of there always being someone to look after Free Software code doesn’t always happen in reality, and projects are abandoned every day.

Perhaps you should poke your peers, to see if any of THEM want to take on maintenance duties?

Beside that, I didn't found any statement of abandonment, on his website. Apparently he will maintain it the best he can, and, even in case he abandons it, having it included in Fedora raises considerably the chances of adoption. Not me, I’m just not good enough.

Are you aware of anyone who has stepped up to take over? If not, then it's unlikely that Gnote will ever reach functional parity with the current version of Tomboy (e.g. online note synchronization), let alone future versions. Perhaps you could adopt the project? Gnote’s original upstream appears to have abandoned the project. Are you aware of anyone who has stepped up to take over?

Gnote does not have a dbus interface, so it cannot be interrogated by third party applications (see firefox extension for tomboy, "getting things gnome!"..). Actually, I’m not.
