I would be very happy to see mockups or ideas about it. Everybody seems
to want such a feature but nobody, so far, could think of a UI.

In GTG's early days, I added a "Note" feature. A note was simply a
special task without start/due date.

There was a button to convert a task to a note and vice versa.

Notes would not appear in the workview and there could be an icon
besides "tasks without tag" to see only notes.

It was removed because we didn't find a good UI for that tool.

Pretty easy to re-implement currently by defining a special tag (I'm
volunteering). The only difficult part is to not add too many buttons to
the interface.

Actually, I spend more time explaining to people that we are working on
it than working on it. Sad.
