Nuno, could you please commit the script to the phpdoc scripts folder,
where these kind of scripts are supposed to be? Also it would be nice
to rename it to orphan notes, or something, since bogus can really mean
anything, while the script is targeted at finding orphan notes.

I've made a script to collect bogus notes.

I needs a phpweb checkout (just backend/notes and manual/en).

Source: http://testes.aborla.net/bogus_notes.php
Result: http://testes.aborla.net/bogus_notes.txt

There are 63 bogus notes!!

Description:
------------
{I open this up here, so someone can assign it to himself and hopefully
complete the task. Plus we will not forget :) This is the best task
management software we have now...}

While moving around and restructuring stuff in the manual, notes have
been orphaned in the past and notes will be orphaned in the future.
Currently we need to ask system admins to change the note association,
so they are displayed under the new IDs. Since we have not done so some
times in the past, there must be quite a few orphan attachments (and
there is going to be more with current restructuring).

We do need a tool to identify orphan user notes. Since the notes are
glued to the manual IDs, it is just a matter of comparing the list of
current manual IDs and IDs in the note table. I am sure that some
orpahns will be uncovered.

First we need a GUI to edit the manual IDs of these notes, so we can
attach them to new places, then we need a mass reattachment feature,
where we can specify the old and new ID and the program automatically
updates all notes pointing to the old ID to point to the new one. For
page splits we still need the manual interface to distribute the notes
to the splitted pages as needed.

This task is up for someone to grab :) Completion would greatly help
the install stuff restructuring, so we would have better chances of
assigning new IDs.
