There are a couple...Those are some great comments! There are a couple of things that some of them are missing.<br /><br />First, I'm okay with a package that requires programming or installing skill. But for others, requiring an install of ruby will be hard on the windows side, especially if the machine is locked down (govt rules that keep people from getting work done).<br /><br />Second, internet based solutions don't currently seem to work with an unconnected model. Google Docs and Basecamp don't work when you go to work on a ship with only email for a couple weeks. If the internet based systems had an offline mode that allowed things to progress without the internet and then merge back it, that would be awesome!<br /><br />That said, I think all of the posts so far list tools that I can recommend for certain situations.<br /><br />I am especially intrigued by Gollem with github-markup supporting emacs org-mode (and lots of other formats). Maybe I should dig a little into ruby. But, I spend most of my time in python with fink.<br /><br />I can also see a local install of PmWiki with apache and version control being an interesting solution.Kurt Schwehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351499194822132482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099071902862729606.post-72759888097697850762010-12-08T11:39:33.177-08:002010-12-08T11:39:33.177-08:00I like PmWiki myself.

It's small and portable, but more flexible than TiddlyWiki, which I never could get into.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668543197997245393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099071902862729606.post-85937156315384564642010-12-07T02:38:02.276-08:002010-12-07T02:38:02.276-08:00I've never used it myself (except on github), ...I've never used it myself (except on github), but what about Gollum? Gollum wikis are simply Git repositories that adhere to a specific format. Gollum pages may be written in a variety of formats and can be edited in a number of ways depending on your needs.<br />https://github.com/github/gollumUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122391633056248761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099071902862729606.post-25510597007815968482010-12-02T14:55:19.110-08:002010-12-02T14:55:19.110-08:00Sounds like you're talking about project manag...Sounds like you're talking about project management needs. Have you tried Basecamp? It's dead simple project management software with attachment support and version control. Eventually, our <a href="http://digipim.com" rel="nofollow">organizer software</a> will meet your needs too :)Lochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785856773442002415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099071902862729606.post-23282183794656555722010-12-02T11:27:04.852-08:002010-12-02T11:27:04.852-08:00I use Google sites as part of a free Google Apps a...I use Google sites as part of a free Google Apps account. It has convenient sharing options and rudimentary document management (automatically versioning documents which are "attached" to pages. It's wysiwyg so perhaps not attractive to true geeks, but it allows me to focus on content rather than the mechanics of hosting, sharing and coding.Marius Coomanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478184809143484633noreply@blogger.com
