Desktop wiki for Maemo?
One of the things that I would like to see on the Nxx0 is a desktop wiki. Is it possible to package something like Zim Wiki, which is a perl-based desktop wiki for Maemo?

Check out Conboy

Re: Desktop wiki for Maemo?
its for note taking but what other great things can it be used for, and how can it help with accessing a wiki on the desktop :o

As far as I can tell. Zim Wiki is exactly the same as Tomboy, which Conboy is a tablet clone of. And soon there is supposed to be syncing available between Tomboy on your desktop and Conboy on your tablet.

I like zim.
Since it's based on perl, it may work out of the box. But it will need maemo packaging and testing. I run it remotely through ssh and a bluetooth keyboard. |

If you install PHP/MySQL on your tablet (which actually can be done), then you can install any variant of wiki solutions out there (they just need a web browser to run after all). Of course, this will take some work -- and syncing with your desktop may be a trick, unless you can somehow get the two databases to speak to each other.

MoinMoin, a python-based wiki works well on the tablets via a browser. MoinMoin currently stores your data in files so all that is required is python.
For tiddlywiki, I tried a GTD variant (getting things done) - GTD Monkey - and couldn't figure out a way to get rid of the security warnings when saving to disk, with the built-in browsers and some of the others I tried. (Note that easydebian or something else that runs Firefox should work, because it lets you choose to have it remember your preference for letting the page save a modified version of itself back to disk). |

Does ruby (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/ruby-maemo/) run on maemo these days? If so, try instiki (http://www.instiki.org).

Instiki is a great wiki, and I can recommend it. I like how it makes it easy to set up multiple wikis and then select which wiki you want from the main http://localhost:2500 page. The maruku implementation of markdown should have enough syntax features for most people. Out of the box, instiki also makes it easy to download a zip of linked html pages of your wiki (as well as a zip of the source for individual pages). However, I've become enamored with the feature completeness and syntax of restructured text, which is why I use moinmoin more -- although lately, I've been experimenting with sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org) which builds really nice searchable static web pages (and pdf) from collections of restructured text files. Sphinx is used for the python documentation. I haven't tried Sphinx on the tablet, but building html files looks like it ought to work. |
