I have been using keynote which stores text, pictures, and links in a hierarchy. It also has shortcuts for nodes. It is incredibly useful software. It's also gpl'd.
The problem is that is isn't multiuser, and that's what I needed at work. Hierarchys are horrible for organizing documents and information for a group. No one knows which node or branch to look under. In this case keeping infromation flat, but indexed and categorized is better. I created a php app, with docs and text stored in a database. Each doc can be tagged with more than one category. It seems to work well. Having the title and text searchable is a bonus.
Are there any projects underway for making the linux filesystem easier to cope with for beginner users. I realize changing the file structure would be a politcal and technical mess, so what about a virtual layer, something between the operator and the machine.
