Tomboy Notes

Tomboy is a simple app that allows one to take notes about any topic. A patch exists that adds Avahi support to Tomboy. If you are running a Tomboy instance that is Avahi aware, you would be able to share your notes with your colleagues on you local network. The below picture shows such a patched Tomboy application.
