Nor would I be able to work on it every day. But I find if I'm working
with someone else, I leave something on the backburner for shorter
periods of time.

I'd begin with a tree list (of categories) on the left and a window of
overlapping text widgets on the right.

Beginning functionality:
  - create/delete/rename categories
  - create/delete/edit/move/copy notes
  - search

And that's about it. That would be pretty much the functionality
of Tornado in 1987, which wasn't even a GUI.

Speaking of GUIs: What's your toolkit of choice?
