Regarding the where: - Should project notes be kept in a project file with all other project files (like images, web pages, PDF, etc.?
- Or should project notes be kept in a separate hierarchy along with all other project notes?
Regarding the application:
I was using Mindjet MindManager on the PC for all my project outlines and notes, but MindManager files aren't indexed by spotlight.
I know that someone was using a script to create an OmniOutliner document in a Reference folder hierarchy matching the OmniFocus project hierarchy.
However, OmniOutliner doesn't share text very well with others not using OmniOutliner, so I'm considering just going back to MS Word. Any thoughts before making this leap?
I'd love to learn more about your systems in play.

I am so happy you asked this question because I've never seen any answer any where.
Depends on what kind of note.
If it is a check list it goes as a project in OF
If it is a quick note about a task it goes on the field note at the end of it.
If it's a real note such a thinking about a project it goes on a .page file on a specific computer's folder.
I love OF for tasking. I love it's simplicity and since i discovered the themes i like my actual looking. But I hate it for notes. I dream of a real page like on .page or word with an automatic summary something simple but efficient where I could store my notes as I do on my note book.
For the moment I discovered that the best thing to do was to make a link from my computer to OF task note by drag and drop. But the solution is not great. There is still the icon I would prefer a real link.
