[Gramps-devel] Multiple note implementation

[Don A. <don...@co...>]

We've had some discussions on the mailing lists and the IRC channel on
the implementation of multiple notes. So, I figured that I would outline
our implementation idea, and then open it up for users to contribute
their interface ideas.

The basic idea is:

1) All objects that can currently accept a note will accept multiple
   notes.
2) Notes will not be shared. If a note must be shared, then it really
   isn't just a note - it is a Source.
3) Any note not attached to an object will be considered a global note,
   and will appear in a Note View. Only unattached notes will appear
   in the Note View.
4) Notes will be implemented in their own table. Objects will reference
   the notes in the table.

Now, the challenge for the users:

  Come up with GUI mockup of what the note editor should look like to
  handle multiple notes. Currently, the single note implementation is
  a tab in the Editor window. A screenshot can be seen at:
