WikidPad - wiki notebook for Windows/Linux/Mac OS
wikidPad is open source . Visit the project homepage at<br>http://trac.wikidpad2.webfactional.com/.
wikidPad is a Wiki-like notebook<br>for storing your thoughts, ideas, todo lists, contacts, or anything<br>else you can think of to write down.
What makes wikidPad different from other notepad applications is the<br>ease with which you can cross-link your information. Links in a wiki<br>are created by typing in WikiWords. A WikiWord is any mixed case word<br>typed into the editor. TodoList or JohnDoe are example<br>WikiWords. The term wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian, and wikis are all<br>about quickly linking your information together. Wikis are not a new concept, in fact<br>there are many web based wiki servers available.

wikidPad is a real-time wiki
wikidPad is not a web server, or application server, or groupware<br>solution. wikidPad is a standalone notepad like application, albeit<br>notepad on steroids. wikidPad is like an IDE for your thoughts.
IDE for your thoughts
Software developers have grown accustomed to certain features<br>from their integrated development environment that make their jobs easier.<br>Features like auto-completion, outline views, incremental search, easy source<br>code navigation. IDE's that provide these features can greatly increase<br>developer productivity. wikidPad attempts to utilize some of these<br>features to address the problem of personal information management.
Personal Information Management
How do you manage all of the random bits of information in your<br>personal and professional life? Word documents, text files, Microsoft<br>Outlook folders/notes. If you're an expert user maybe you have<br>a weblog, or a personal database, or possibly an outlining application.<br>Where do you track your wifes favorite food, your bosses kids names,<br>your personal todo list, the name of the movie you just read a review<br>of, the name of the book a friend recommended. wikidPad was created to<br>address this issue of personal information management. It provides a<br>place to manage the massive amounts of information you have stuffed in<br>your head, on stickies, or on your computer.
