Notes

I'm wondering if a free, open source replacement for Microsoft OneNote exists.

Features it would need to have:

Click anywhere on the page and start typing.
Automatic revision history tracking.
Some sort of basic drawing facility (circle text, draw extremely crude diagrams, etc.)

Not being platform-specific would be great too.

Does anyone use or know of any project that fits the bill?

Now I understand that this is especially an (known) issue in the OneNote 2013 preview and that it will probably be fixed in the final release. But lassoing in OneNote 2010 was no sprightly affair either. I'm just perplexed really, why on earth is there such an issue? Is lassoing intrinsically computationally… >>> More
