I'm not entirely sure about how the use case for that looks like.  
Could you outline a scenario? (for that general purpose thingy)

Most objects in OGo already do have a "journal" (tasks, appointments,  
projects). I suspect whats actually needed is some kind of  
"reporting" frontend here? Possibly just an RSS feed which cumulates  
the "notes" of the individual object types?

Personally I'm not a big fan of unstructured data input. I'm rather  
keen on making structured input easier than on adding facilities to  
enable unstructured data. Eg while generic object links can be handy  
hacks sometimes (I _never_ use them), the structured links are much  
more valuable.

Anyways, I'm not sure how all that relates to Asterisk :-)

IMHO communication (in business groupware ..) always needs to be  
associated with at least on "goal" aka project. Now we might want to  
optimize for the fact that you usually start out with just one "goal"  
per contact. In fact thats why we have those "fake" projects auto- 
created for enterprise contacts.

Greets,
