Josh,
Just my two cents.
First, there actually WAS a FileMaker work-alike, called Rekall. The two
guys who produced it tried to market it but it never took off. There is
still an Open Source version (http://www.rekallrevealed.org), but it's not
actively developed. I did a Linux Journal article on this a while back.
Maybe if there's enough interest, this project could be revived?
Next - do you think PostBooks could be a 'killer app', or are you looking
for a database frontend?
Cheers,
-J
