My second new Django pluggable in app in half as many days, django-notes is a simple way to adde genericly-related notes to whatever app you’re working with. Beyond the obviousness of adding a little bit of content (renderable in the markup of your choice), the app also provides for a rudiemntary “topic” model so that notes can be organized by topics. Plans also exist to create some template tags to make finding notes on a topic for a particular model easy in the middle of whatever template you’re usign.
If you have django-taggit installed, your notes can also be tagged. Because I’ve heard quite a bit lately about the actual uselessness of tags, you can also enable auto tagging, so that once you have a base set of tags in the system, notes will be combed through upon saving for potential tags.
Again, this is a painfully simple application, but hopefully it’s just simple enough to be reusable.
