What is Notalon?
Notalon is an application designed to make taking Cornell notes faster and easier. It is written specifically for the task of taking Cornell notes, unlike a word processor.
How can I get Notalon?
If you're on Windows, you want to download the latest Win32 Installer.
You can also download the bleeding-edge Notalon source using Subversion. You can browse the repository (all the code is in the trunk) or checkout a working copy. No compilation is necessary, since Python is an interpreted language. Just make sure that you have the libraries.
Where did the name Notalon come from?
The idea came from the word "notes" and the "alon" suffix. Coincidentally, the title of the application is contained within the phrase "not alone", although this was completely unintended.
How can I run Notalon from source?
Note to users: You don't need the source code to run the application. I have provided it for those users who want to look at the source code and use it. Currently, I'm the only developer, but if you want to help me develop the application then you'll need Python, as well as the following libraries:
- wxPython - for GUI
- ElementTree - for saving/loading XML files
- ReportLab - for exporting PDF files
- py2exe - for "compiling" the interpreted Python code into executables (optional, MS Windows only)
May I use Notalon's source code?
Yes! Notalon is released under the MIT license, an open-source license that permits anyone to use any part of the application's source code for any purpose, provided that he or she does not restrict these freedoms from others. It would also be nice if you mentioned where you got the code from.
Note: Not actively developed anymore
I want to focus my time elsewhere, so I'm no longer actively developing Notalon. If you're interested in assuming the mantle, let me know.
