Wyneken: A powerful, flexible notetaking program
Wyneken belongs in the growing list of note-taking applications for GNOME, along with the Sticky Notes panel apps, Evolution, and Tomboy. Specifically designed for students' needs, it is equally well-suited to the random jottings that anyone might make during the course of their work, as well as letters, reports, presentations, and even man pages. Wyneken is built on LaTeX, so it allows for complex formatting when necessary, with the tradeoff of not having a WYSIWYG display.
Version 0.4, the latest production version of Wyneken, is available in a Fedora RPM package, but users of most other distributions will have to build it from source. Pay close attention to the building instructions, which include a long list of dependencies: pysqlite 2.0.3 or higher, sqlite 3.x, pygtk-2.6 or higher, python-2.4, and tetex. Depending on what formats you want for output, you may also want to include latex-beamer 3.x for presentations, latex2rtf for converting to RTF, and hevea for converting to HTML and ASCII text. In addition, you also need a suitable viewer for each type of output, such as Evince for PDFs and a word processor for rich text format.
