[clue-tech] Note Software?

[Brian Gibson]

Dropbox (2GB free which can go along way if you don't need media files) is painless, automated Subversion integrated with your file manager.  The data is encrypted over the wire and at the repository which is at Amazon S3.  The bad news, there's only one encryption key and Dropbox owns the key.  If Dropbox would allow you to generate your own encryption key, it would make for a compelling remote file system even for enterprise.

Well, that's an interesting suggestion. I wouldn't have thought of using
a VCS. It would certainly provide timestamping. Not sure about the
ability to use tags as sort of category identifiers -- CVS provides the
ability to use tags, but not in that way.

Initally, I can see things like auto-save being somewhat problematic, and
I think using a checkin-out process might slow things down a bit, but
maybe not terribly. However, I likely have to write the front end myself.
(As I said, I've thought about doing that anyway. But if something
already written fits, well ... I can be lazy too.)
