On the other hand, one of the selling points of Zim, a somewhat similar wiki-notepad, is that it stores its notes in plain text. Maybe Zim is a better fit for you?
True, "usable" is certainly subjective.

I did try to open the Conboy notes in Tomboy, but nothing happened. Looks like there still needs to be a conversion of some sort?

Assuming Tomboy can read Conboy, (is it the only way to read/edit a Conboy file?) I would be very happy to use both if I could get it to work, and if there were a simple-non-terminal way for Tomboy to fetch a Conboy note off my n900, but it doesn't look like that is supported.

I still think that Conboy could export/copy a note to any directory as an editable file (XML, RTF, etc.) I guess consider that a feature request.

[edit] One can also place a shortcut (e.g., on your PC desktop) to the .conboy folder, and access that folder on the device quicky, even without any further xTerm commands. It seems running that command once unhides the folder permanently?
