Package: gjots2 (2.3.4-2)

A simple jotter (outline processor) for X11/gtk-gnome

gjots2 is a fairly simple jotter (outline processor) application for your desktop.

You can use gjots2 to organize your jottings into a tree structure, adding thoughts and miscellany as you go. You can get it to spit out HTML, XML, postscript, pdf, man etc etc if you want (see the online manual for an example of the HTML conversion).

I use it for all my notes on Unix, my personal bits and pieces, recipes and even PINs and passwords (encrypted with ccrypt(1), openssl(1) or gpg(1)). I also use it to write DOCBOOK XML documents.

You can use it to "mind-map" your compositions - write down all your thoughts and then start organizing them into a tree. By manipulating the tree you can easily reorder your thoughts and structure them appropriately.

It's a bit like the KDE program kjots but it uses the GTK-2 library.
