@liaizon I didn't choose it, but I think the idea was we needed *something* quickly that could take in evernote archives easily. The problem is a lot of electronic laboratory notebooks aren't any better in terms of who is funding them. Hopefully a long term solution presents itself sooner rather than later, since I really like the ELNs and am not willing to go back to paper.
@SRLevine I have been using Obsidian, and while its not open source all the data is kept in easily movable and preservable chunks in. away that almost non of the other big "note taking/journal" systems have. But yeah I don't know how much of a hassle moving Evernote archives around is and what shape they take.
