Re: [Evolution-hackers] Notes/Memos component for Evolution?



Add to Panel -> Accessories -> Sticky Notes

If you want to sync them with a PalmOS device, you would need to write
a conduit for gnome-pilot, or a plug-in for multisync if you want to
sync them with other handheld devices.

There is a bounty being worked on for adding the Tasks to the pop-up of
the clock applet in the panel. I believe there are complete patches
already.
