Notes

Notes are a simple way for exchanging information between the users of an OpenGoo installation. Notes can be used as a replacement for a forum, a blog, a blackboard, or a mailing list. It supports comments, so you can discuss things; and by subscribing to a note you get notifications by mail if there is a new comment. So notes are a simple, but powerful element of OpenGoo.

Please note that you get the beginning of each note in a tooltip by positioning the mouse pointer over a note (without clicking). That's enough to find a certain note quickly in case titles are not differentiating enough or partly hidden.

You will see this link only if you are using an OpenGoo installation that has been upgraded from a pre-1.0 release and if somebody entered some additional text already.2)
