(Moved from my home page, in hopes that it generates some discussion. -- TimLesher) I've long been looking for the perfect wiki to use as a personal note-taking and project management tool. In rough order, I've tried: * EddiesWiki: base feature set; stable; requires separate server and browser interface; no longer developed as far as I can see. [''But WxWikiServer exists.''] * NoteBook: doesn't support WikiWords; modal; active development; nice hooks * NoteWiki: believe it or not, I used this simplistic tool for a long time. First modeless DesktopWiki I found. No formatting, and not actively developed. * PepysWiki: Very nice UI, but flaky and prone to data loss; no longer developed. * WikidPad: modeless editing (added mode for HTML export), tons of features, actively developed; OpenSource; slightly dodgy formatting. * ZuluPad: modeless, FAST, supports any kind of links, but zero formatting. * TiddlyWiki: strange self-modifying JavaScript; executes in-browser. I can't quite bring myself to trust the self-modifying aspect. * TwikiClone: big, over-structured kitchen sink wiki. I use it at work, but the rigid structure seems to lead to disuse. So far, the closest thing to ideal I've found has been WikidPad. But here's what I really want in SuperWhizzyUltimatePersonalWikiToolPro (SWUPWTP): * Modeless operation with automatic WikiWord recognition, but bracketless support for non-CamelCase wiki words * Basic formatting: tagless support (like PepysWiki) for numbered and bullet lists, bold, italic, strikeout, and headers should suffice * PocketPc version optimized for that platform * OpenSource, so I can fix bugs and hack on it * Low resource consumption, so I can leave it running all the time and show/hide it with an AcceleratorKey * Modeless "what-links-here" display * Category support (what links here would suffice, but baked-in tagging in a separate namespace would be better) * Uncluttered UI like PepysWiki and ZuluPad (and unlike SdiDesk) * Completely drivable from the keyboard, with one-stroke forward/back support (WikidPad lacks this) * Auto-linkification of URLs * Fast full-text search * Incremental in-page search Nice-to-have features: * Some functionality for simple tables * Versioning * Sync with PocketPc version and offsite backup (scp, ftp, webdav, what have you) * Support for embedded images What I don't need: * Multi-user support * Export to XML/HTML * Tree view Every couple of months, I re-browse the links on PersonalWiki, but nobody has implemented SWUPWTP yet.
