Hi Sébastien, thanks for your mail ... so let's continue the small discussion we had offline.

Mmh, hard to say ... because it might also depend on the effort that has to be spend on your side. But let's give that a try - it helps me to differentiate between issues, visual improvements, and feature enhancements. ISSUES (Medium) Although invisible, this would be a great fix: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85844 (High) The small triangle (note anchor) still looks a bit awkward. Originally, I tried to come up with a proposal that suits different kinds of anchors (see also below). Here is a screenshot for the I-shaped anchor (in the center of the graphic) that should replace the current triangle. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Notes2_Design_NoteAnchor#Proposal_.22Boxes_.28Note_Anchor_Area.29.22 VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS (Low) The implementation does not always follow the initial design - for several reasons. If you look at the screenshots, you may spot some differences (e.g. "dashed line" vs. "dashed line above normal stroke line", or 2px width between Notes Sidepane and document vs. requested 1px width). Small things, but they improve the overall impression. (Medium) Something between "issue and visual improvement" is to get rid of the plain background when notes are edited. Originally, we wanted to keep the gradient for all states. (Medium) Since you've already invested some time into the nice "shadow thing", the understandability of focus would be greatly enhanced by ... http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Notes2_Design_Visualization_of_Focus#Proposal_.22Increased_Shadow.22 FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS (High) One of the most important requests for Writer is still to have proper Notes printing. On the first glance, it might be invisible to the users, but when printed - it will shine :-) http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Notes2_Design_Printing (Medium) Today, we only support note anchors representing "one character". We miss the functionality to markup a word, or even a whole sentence - the note anchor areas. Screenshot below - but there is also some detailed description on the behavior of such a feature. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Notes2_Design_NoteAnchor#Proposal_.22Boxes_.28Note_Anchor_Area.29.22 (Medium) Another nice thing would be a Notes ruler control that enables the user to show/hide the Notes: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Notes2_Design_NotesSidePane#Proposal_.22Notes_Ruler_Control.22 (Medium) My personal favorite - which seems unique among the office suites - is still the "notes placeholder". This is a decent placeholder that enables to just start typing the notes text after having clicked on it (anchor would be placed at current document text position, the placeholder has the same size as a freshly created note). Here is a preview: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/8/81/Notes2_2007-09-08_GeneralMockups_View.png And so on, and so on. Does that help somehow?

And you are right with your "busy" assumptions. Especially the "funraising" seems to be the hardest part in this project ;-) > Waiting for you priorities & mockups on notes work :-) Hehe, thanks a lot! Great to hear that ...
