I just took a look at NoteTaker.  VERY cool, it is essentially the old 
NeXt app Notebook reborn.

With NoteTaker and it's support for images and other media, links, 
etc., I wonder how important it is for OO to implement this stuff?  
It'd be nice to see NoteTaker and OO evolve in tandem such that they 
could work seamlessly together.  I think I remember reading at one 
point that Notebook allowed one to place bookmarks not just within the 
app, but also in other apps as well.  Maybe this kind of interaction is 
worth exploring.

As for OO itself, now that the new XML format is there, I'd really like 
to see them return to getting the basic interface right.  There are all 
kinds of little details -- the most glaring the lack of a notes default 
font pref -- that could use attention before moving on to bigger thing..
