The issue here is distribution.  Databases tend to be centralized and
heavy weight.  Here, we're simply looking for a standard way to capture
an image (or more) with a task/note and tranport it back to your main
Org file (a la Org Mobile or ...).  Org is lightweight in this area
which is good and bad.
