Ask Slashdot: Open Tools For Logbooks and Note-taking?

New submitter leonstr writes: I'm a sysadmin and I like to record my daily work in a logbook: technical notes, work progress, actions from meetings, etc. I started with the word processor on the venerable Psion Series 3a but for about 10 years I've been using Amaya. It's FLOSS, cross-platform and uses an open file format (XHTML). Amaya has its quirks but I really like it; unfortunately it's no longer being updated and I feel it's time to change. So I wonder: what do other people use for recording their work? What works well and meets your requirements?

Sorry, your notes probably don't mean shit to a VP looking to assign blame

This is why grownups who have meetings have someone send meeting minutes.

Specifically because there are far too many assholes in the world to not take steps to a) cover your ass, and b) hold people accountable.

I've lost track of the times that 2-3 people all pull up the meeting notes and day "nope, you were the one who decided we wouldn't do that".

Keeping VPs from weaseling out of stuff/assigning blame later is a valuable life skill.
