I have a need of an application for Linux that is capable of organizing hand-written notes. I want to be able to do a low-res scan of these notes, and give them to the application along with a subject line and the ability to attach tags. Then I want the app to be able to do simple searching based upon the key words in the subject and tags. I've considered using an OCR app, but the hand-written notes are just too sloppy for that. I've been looking around for somthing, but haven't been able to find it. Before going off and writing my own, I was wondering if anyone around here might know of something that would do the trick.

Your scanned notes are basically images that you need to organize. Any good photo organizer will work. Both Picasa and gThumb should do the job.

I agree with macemoneta. Just scan them in an use a Photo Manager. Any one of them can tag and search.

Good idea, I'll look into both of those. By the way, I would prefer it if the program could be installed on multiple computers, and have each user interacting with the same collection. Do you know if ether of these programs are capable of that? Its not an essential feature, but one that would be quite convenient.

That shouldn't be a problem if the collection is on shared disk space (sshfs, NFS, Samba, etc.).
