What it's all about
Recently I've been told about the new version of basket 1.0.
Neversfelde and Czessi (thank you guys!) made the package for our repo, and I have to say that I'm really impressed! Basket made a huge step forward and is now a really great tool to keep and organise ideas, notes, projects ...
The features I like most are adding tags to different notes ("important", "To Do", "Idea" etc.), encrypt baskets (with passwords or even better with my gpg-key), adding pictures, importing data from other apps (like Knotes), a lot more - and last but not least the very nice outfit - basket definitely has the "bling" factor!
I'd recommend just to install and play with it, and you'll see that you won't stop having new ideas
How to install
Basket 1.0 is not available from an official Kubuntu repo, but thanks to our community repository you can install it easily.
Just add
to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and add the gpg-key:
Then do:
A screenshot .. or two
My personal wishes..
The basket website (wich I strongly recommend to visit, great site which gives a good impression of the project) tells that it would work with kontact integration. At least for Edgy it doesn't, but hopefully for Feisty it will work. I would really love to see basket within one of my favorite applications!
And.. well, wouldn't it be great if baskets could be used for collaboration via net? Atm one has to export baskets and then send them per mail.. what I'd love is a way of working with different people at the same time on a basket . I don't know if that's possible, but honestly: wouldn't that be great?
[Update:] I've just been told that there's a project which plans to do something similar in the future. Unfortunately it's rather dead at the moment, but they're looking for people to continue the project, see here (at the end of the page: "Sync Using the BasKet Sharing Server")

This is my actual project - I have to prepare a history lesson (middle age) and I'm putting together all my ideas, information, Todos, book titles etc. into a basket in order to get everything organised
When closing basket it will stay in the system tray
