Personal Wiki Systems
I'm going through the agony of choosing a personal wiki system for windows. One for the knowledge base and descriptions of the scripts and micro-applications database, and the other for the experimental zettelkasten.
My requirements:
Portability
Since the scripts and micro-applications database is stored on a separate disk, their wiki shell should also be nearby. And there will be no problems with the backup.
Open source
Desirable.
WYSIWYG
I come across systems without it and it's a pain.
Plugins
Plugins are good. Although now many developers abuse this and make the system basic, counting on a mountain of plugins. Some of these plugins are third-party, and after a couple of years or months they simply stop being supported. And if there are no alternatives to them, then everything goes to hell.
What I found:
Zim - A Desktop Wiki
A "desktop wiki" means that we try to capture the idea of a wiki, not as a webpage but as a collection of files on your local file system that can be edited with a GUI application. The main focus is a kind of personal wiki that serves for all kinds of notes: todo-lists, addresses, brainstorm ideas, etc.
