Hi All

I'm a heavy Microsoft OneNote user (I use LibreOffice on Mac, Linux and Windows for my personal stuff). No other office suite or standalone app (free or paid) feature a decent alternative for OneNote. I tried many alternatives and it just don't compare. 

Would adding a OneNote alternative not be an icebreaker for expanding LibreOffice? (I understand the massive investment/resources for such an undertaking).

OneNote strenght is in its freeform layouts, embedding of attachments, drawing and freeform text blocks. Your current application suite has many of these features already and maybe a lot of it can be repurposed in such a Note taking app. 
Migrating data from OneNote to such an app a must. 


Thanks for the work and effort making LibreOffice great!

Thanks for the suggestion. Adding more applications to compete with MS Office is an idea that has been raised before, see bug 112349 and bug 130496. 

Unfortunately, despite the huge user base of LibreOffice, there is only a relatively small number of people working on development of it. There is already more than enough work to keep the existing applications maintained. Adding another one is not likely to happen in the near future.
