Glad you liked it, feel we're on the right track!  Thanks for checking it
out.

A nice thing about CouchDB is it's schema-less, so we don't need to have
empty place holder values.  When the user hasn't given a title yet, we just
leave off the title attribute entirely (and assume a default of null, or
None in Python).

What's missing is a view to allow us to search by title.

Tags are tags as you would expect them to be.  :)

Yes, that almost landed in 0.2 but got pushed back to 0.3.  We are using
WebKit to do most of the UI, but will use all the modern Ayatana stuff like
dbusmenu etc.  So it will have nice native GTK integration.

Thanks again!
