MiniRubyWiki is for a
PersonalInformationManager and for a team - not for the open Internet. For example, it cannot store page versions, and you can do things in-page that eat your server. But I'm not telling what.
PlannerMode is a
PersonalInformationManager built on top of
EmacsWikiMode. Pages cannot be edited on the net (without an extension); they are all edited locally in Emacs. The nice thing is that the page in Emacs behaves just like a Wiki on the web (it's even much richer) - publishing is optional.

A nice tool [MRW]! Thanks for providing it. I use it on memory-constrained devices like my Zaurus. So it is easy to have my personal wiki/notebook always with me, and I can sync it with my PC.
In this case, it is an advantage that MRW doesn't have many dependencies and provides its own server.

Per
http://radio.weblogs.com/0122027/2003/10/ RodWaldhoff similarly does the hand-held
MiniRubyWiki thing - also in a Zaurus. Now why can't Fry's show me one???

Check out
DidiWiki (tiny, written in c, built in webserver)
SdiDesk is a PIM application that works very, very like wiki.
Most PIMs have tickler (reminders). Does any
WikiAsPim have similar features implemented nicely??

Moved from another page:
If the definition of a wiki is a "collective tool", then it should not matter whether the information was collected globally or locally. I now view a wiki as any informational environment which allows you to easily create, edit, and establish (hyper-linked) relationships between text documents. Indeed, I use many a personal wiki on my computer as "information centers". For example, think of a topic that interests you (baseball), then go out on the internet and collect text information about different aspects of baseball which you want to interlink together (For example, "The B
aseballPitcher throws a F
astBall whenever he wants to S
trikeOut the B
aseballBatter".) By creating information in this way, with the wiki effect of simply clicking on a term and describing it in a new document, you can create entire
MindMaps of text data very effectively.
The point is, wikis have tons of uses outside of just internet collaberation. I suggest instead of limiting the term to a particular medium, it should be opened up to describe the process used, rather then the use itself.
