Thanks to everyone who helped during this cycle.

Note that the site http://www.NotecaseproPlugins.com has been redesigned.
That site is now a central place to search for (free and commercial) Notecase Pro plugins and scripts.

Note that I plan to deprecate Ubuntu 10.04 and Open Suse 11.4 builds in the next cycle. If anyone needs to use those, let me know.
