TreeSheets (Cross-Platform Data Organizer) Now Open Source
Aardappel writes "TreeSheets has been available as freeware for Windows / Linux / OS X since 2008, but is now also Open Source (ZLIB license). TreeSheets is a cross between a spreadsheet (you can create grids) and an outliner (you can create grids inside grids) allowing you to create almost any structure to organize your data in."
Treat yourself and have a look at their screenshots, if you haven't already. They are rather snarky...
It's open source. Port it yourself, bum.
This is wonderful news. I was feeling guilty about using this awesome tool, since I try to only use free/open software. But I haven't found anything like it; allowing you to add a whole grid within any grid box means you can keep as much detail as you want within any item (I use it for tasks in a can-ban structure).
Ritepen, since bought by EverNote is quite good. Older versions seem to work in Wine:

Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
As much as I hate to say it, Microsoft One Note is probably the best there is.
I ended up mainly using it as a tabbed graphics program. Since it remembers individual pen strokes, it's possible to copy a circuit diagram, remove the part the professor changed, and then draw the new changes.* Combine that with engineering paper grids, handwriting conversion, drag and drop picture embedding for annotations, and an intuitive navigation system for changing between courses and it's a necessity.
If you're talking Linux, then you're, sadly, out of luck. I haven't found anything that even comes close. One Note doesn't run in wine, and the license file is a pita to fix if something goes wrong in Windows. For all those faults, it's an amazing piece of software, and I can't find anything better. I'm currently trying to get it to work in an XP VM on Kubuntu.
*Note to professors: When you modify a circuit, give your students time to copy it from scratch, instead of immediately going on. I bought a tablet PC just for this reason.
PS: Ehh, who needs mod points.
So lets pretend that we've just completed writing this code, as opposed to having just completed sabotaging it -Altera
The Linux binaries are 32 bit. You don't have the 32 bit GTK libraries installed.
Use ldd <executable-name> to figure out what else is needs to be installed or clone the github project and build a 64 bit version. Or just wait till Wouter distributes a 64 bit version. It's day #1 of public exposure for this project and you're expected to deal.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
