Migrate from Gnote to Org-mode

Question

I have lots of notes in Gnote and I consider to use Org-mode instead. How can I migrate my Gnote notes to Org-mode?

Here is how to proceed. (Note, however, that you may want to clean out your notes before so that you do not migrate unwanted notes.)

Install the dependencies for running the script:

sudo apt-get install libxml-twig-perl libtext-format-perl

Download the script from https://github.com/StAlphonsos/scriptologie/blob/develop/scripts/tomboy2org.pl.
Close Gnote so that any changes is written to its database.
Run the script. I chose to run the script with the option -notebooks to make one .org file out of each Gnote notebook:
```
perl tomboy2org.pl -notebooks -verbose
```

Thanks for you answer. As noted, it is not a complete answer but merely a pointer to a solution (which would do better as a comment). Since you did not write up a solution I decided to document my solution. See http://askubuntu.com/a/90392/19490. – N.N. Dec 25 '11 at 16:15
