Which Note editor for GNOME?
How to properly handle gnome-online-accounts?
A good note editor should not stick to local notes.
Neither to ownCloud, evernote, nor to google keep.
A nice purpose would be to allow accessing notes *everywhere*
I believe such note application
should simply sow distant notes
rather than syncing anything. Yep,
like Documents & Photos.
About notes services:
1, OwnCloud, functional side
1.1 Might not allow real formating (bold, italic...)
1.2 And there will be no color
1.3 And probably one single folder to organize notes.
2, And on technical side OwnCloud
2.1. won't keep the same file name for one note,
it's constantly changing when notes renamed
2.2. allow to edit the file directly with a text editor.
(Thus it allows the user to break the note
if it contains something else than the note text.)
Google Keep has its set of feature & technical points,
and so on for each provider.
This, plus the fact we want the less UI possible,
plus the way documents/photos handle things,
start to make /me think
"why not simply displaying on-line things ?" (rather than real sync)
it would be more natural to make some features unavailable
while the note is hosted somewhere.
So each note should keep track of it's possibilities.
Of course this has drawbacks, too.
But it's simple, it might work quicker than real sync.
It might also land features and code,
still allowing to evolve
- either to a cache system
- or to a real sync but later on,
and possibly not for all providers.
This thoughts concern the native application design.
But the xp user can still use rsync / sparkle share / dropbox
or whichever tool to really sync his note to a distant folder,
which is probably one more argument
in favor of doing things like Documents & Photos
rather than something like Tomboy (i.e. rsync style)

Input Chinese with wubi 98
When typing chinese, I try to stick to wubi input method. And when using wubi, I want to use a recent version : 1998.
I don’t know why, but google did remove their Wubi 98 ibus tables from their pack. When using fedora, there are two Wubi 86 available packages, but no way to input wubi 98 using ibus.
* I tryed fcitx. It’s a nice alernative IME. But seems younger.
* Fortunately, Google still provides the source to build 98 . Here is the related package (.rpm) which just installs an ibus-table ( eg one row says ke= 另 ) and an associated icon.
And here is the package : http://py.luyten.fr/Publique/Fedora/ibus-table-wubi-98-1-1.2.0.20091227.fc17.noarch.rpm
PS : There is a bug, when typing dee, you won’t be able to input 历 because too much entries starting with dee. I’ll update the package with a patch soon to remove some entries like 有助 (deeg) . But amending "frequencies" might work, too.
