I have been jotting down notes even before I was a student, 25 years ago. So now I have hundreds of pages scribbled full of things I felt I needed to know and to keep for later use. Fourteen years ago, I started developing an application that had to deal with these notes in a better way, preferably to use them on whiteboards, as sticky notes, relate them, use the relations to navigate the growing network, reuse the notes and the relations on other boards, from another perspective on another day, every day. Now I have 8000 notes I constantly use. They play roles in all kinds of perspectives and receive one new aspect from that perspective. The more perspectives, the more aspects, the more likely the notes become 'round characters'. It is meant for students and teachers, or anybody interested in lifelong learning.
