Hi,

KJots uses Akonadi, so it can work with any backend (Akonadi resource) that 
implements support for Notes. Currently I think we only have the local notes 
resource which stores notes locally and the Kolab Groupware resource which 
syncs notes with Kolab server.

Google Keep does not have public API, so that's the reason there's no support. 
Don't know if owncloud supports any notes, but if they do, it's just matter of 
writing an Akonadi resource to support that. Zimbra's "Briefcase" is closer to 
Google Docs than notes, so that does not map well on KJots (also I don't think 
the Briefcase has public API - it's not exposed via IMAP at leat). Evernote 
does have API, and there were some tried to implement an Evernote Akonadi 
resource in Python couple years ago, but I don't think they got anywhere.

This would have to be implemented in KJots (to encrypt/decrypt the notes 
before they are stored to Akonadi). However I don't think encryption/signing 
of notes is standardized anywhere, so I don't think there's any webservice 
that would be able to display such encrypted notes.

Cheers,
Daniel
