Thanks for writing this great module, I've been wanting something like this for a while but hackishly trying using stories and other solutions which didn't work as well.
A feature I have wanted whenever considering the "ideal" version of an admin notes module would be backing up the notes to static html files somewhere, in the event the site gets broken beyond usability, as occasionally happens during upgrades of drastic changes. Having your notes handy at times like these could be especially beneficial for things like "I hacked about in file x, changing the function to do y a little." allowing for quicker fixing and restoration. I prefer the note entry/normal viewing being in drupal though for ease of use and consistent workflow.
A fairly simple solution seems like it might be specifying a directory to dump the notes to as a single html file, or a directory to dump them all to as separate html files.

There are a number of export modules, perhaps one of them would do what you want. I would think that is the proper way to do what you want.
Also see the article at http://drupal.org/node/27882.

Thanks for the prompt response, I guess I got a bit overexcited finding your module doing exactly what I wanted as far as the backend notes and didn't really think about using other modules along with it for the export redundancy I wanted. I agree using a separate module is the proper way. Thanks again.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was dismissing you, that was not my intent. There should be other modules which can do this and it is something that each module should not need to do. If there is nothing else, I can consider either taking over another module that is close, add a new module, or add something to this one.
