Thanks for all the suggestions.
zim-wiki looks more like tomboy to me, because tomboy also has wiki
style linking.

I will try basket and freemind.

just installed, seems nice

On that lines there is another tool called ZIm Desktop Wiki
http://www.zim-wiki.org

Its a journalling and planning tool, has some decent extensions, has
very good search functionality and has a very easy to use task list
for eg
to enable a trackable task all one has to do is
[ ] @foo - describe the task [d: 07/12] !!!

the first two characters [ and ] automatically make it a trackable
task, which when completed can be ticked or cancelled ( the rendering
is more fancy that


[ ] task
[*] completed
[x] cancelled

the @foo enable the last list to categorize the job into whatever
foo's you want to make them into

the [d: 07/12] is the due date - which pops up on the task list

the !!! (exclamation marks) indicate the priority. The more !'s the
higher up on the priority list.

the first 4 levels (no !, 1 !, 2 ! and 3 !) are color coded from no
color, yellow, orange and red respectively. However one can give as
many !'s as possible but the color above 3 will always be red

Zim has some nice extensions and after a bit of use it becomes
indispensible, like i said earlier as a regular note taking device to
a some sort of planner.

Good start as you say is freemind

I do use it a bit and have found that its good for planning a document
rather than an event (if you get the drift). Its also good for outlines of
events but not good for subsets or allocation of responsibilities

Have been trying too for a "simple" planning software , tool too

seems like there still is not anything as good as pen and paper and a
decent discussion (repeated at that)

So will be interested when you do come across a solution.
