Il existe aussi EmacsWiki:PlannerMode pour les utilisateurs Emacs, qui s'intègre très bien avec l'EmacsWiki:EmacsWikiMode.

Je veux pouvoir contrôler mon information, et je veux cela pour tout autre chose aussi, et le fait que beaucoup de wikis soient en GPL fait que je m'attends à ce qu'ils aient une API commune externe (par XmlRpc ou ce que vous voudrez), veut dire le travail que je fais, ou qui est fait, sera disponible pour tous.
Les GIP en logiciel libre/open source semblent se concentrer sur la duplication de bloatware propriétaires.
Un exemple concret de ce que j'ai à l'esprit :
In my wiki, a page with a person's or organization's name is where i put their information. We develop a wiki-like markup to indicate what information is what, and clever regexes to pull it out of information that we 'just pasted in for now'.
Other pages are groups, which just means they list a bunch of other pages.
Just that and the WikiAsPim scripts allow command-line stuff something like this:
email i (LocalPeople, u (WorkFriends, GameFriends, FamiLy))or
email LocalPeople && (WorkFriends || GameFriends || FamiLy)
...which would find the email addresses of everyone who is on any of the group pages WorkFriends?, GameFriends? or FamiLy? and is on the LocalPeople? page, and send an event to my default email program telling it to open a new message addressed to those people.
Don't worry too much about typing all that, because a high priority is to implement tab completion.
Analogous stuff can be done with, for example, URLs and snailmail addresses to auto-generate lists of relevant links, mailmerge files, etc. For RssFeeds imagine:
rss i (UnreadItems, u (GeneralNews, FamiLy, GeekFun)
There's more i have in mind, but that's enough to get us started (i want to keep this simple enough to implement RealSoonNow? for real). So:
I thought this would exist years ago (things seemed to be moving in this direction in the early 90s). The fact that it doesn't (as far as i know) has led me to start learning to code again, but that's inefficient. Frankly i'd rather design it with others and have others do most of the coding.

I am working on a WikiAsPim project with another developer in Seattle. We both like Wikis, but when you use a WikiAsPim, you quickly become frustrated with the browser interface. Our strategy has been to work on top of the editor control that comes with Google:wxPython. The editor itself is actually written in Python, which means we add in features like linking on Wiki names with simple Python code. (The editor runs quite fluidly, even though it's written in Python; of course, there's still a lot of C++ underneath the covers.)
Most of our work so far has been to get the editor cleaned up. The tool has a virtual whiteboard sort of feel---you're always editing text, and once you leave a page, including via a hyperlink, it's automatically saved.
Since we are using an editor control and want a wysiwig interface, we will probably implement only a small subset of Wiki formatting. We will also put in PIM features pretty early, such as automatic emailing and multiple search features.
I really like the idea of automatic mailing lists that John mentions above.

Seems like this also edges into the realm of Wiki:WikiBrowser. Any chance we can see some screenshots? And i'm not clear from what you wrote here, is it modeless (meaning can i type in a WikiName and then just click on it to go there?).
Someone at JspWiki already announced that they're working on a J2ME client to edit a wiki over the XmlRpcToWiki interface. I think an external, non-browser based editor would be extremely kewl and useful too :-). --JanneJalkanen
This sounds a lot like WikidPad (google it). --JoshWand?
I'm very interested in this idea, too but concerned (a) can't synch to PDA (though maybe if I synched to a PDA-based wiki that would be OK?), and (b) no group scheduling capability (since I work in a company)... Are these features not needed by you guys? --BillSeitz
Those features are not high on my list, but I can see the use for them. -- SteveHowell
WikiAsPim might be nice meshed Wiki:PalmWiki. Then I could maybe rescue my Palm from wherever it is in the world today (Japan?) and actually use it. -- SunirShah
Re: synching, DanLyke? (of [Flutterby!]) has written code that, if you're using Wiki:PalmWiki, generates HTML from the file(s?) that pilot-link (Unix Palm-synching software) produces. Some day RealSoonNow? i will get pilot-link going and try it out, maybe even try to modify it to generate plaintext instead of HTML, for easy importing to my personal wiki (PikiePikie). It's not a full sync, but it would be start. I'm having trouble keeping up with all of the developments that bear on my visions, and have been distracted by messing with RadioUserland? recently. --JohnAbbe
Scheduling would benefit from some thought about how to handle TimeInWiki?. In general, i imagine everyone having a personal wiki from which they 'publish' to many different group wikis, so something like that for schedule information would handle group scheduling. --JohnAbbe

I have a DatePage for each month and enter information with the current day at the top. This works well. It is great to be able to link various topics (pages) together.
I read that Mitch Kapor's [Chandler PIM] will allow linking of documents together ala wiki. Chandler will have many of Lotus Agenda's features. --DaveRaftery
I use PHPWiki with CalendarPlugin? and CalendarListPlugin? as my personal GTD-enabled PIM/Calendar. I have a big TodoList? set up, which I tag with [NextAction?]s as appropriate. Then I have premade FullTextSearch? links for each NextAction?. Google for PIMWikiLiner? for my WikiAsPim dream app.
This has already been done and is available for your PalmOS based PDA. Check out http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?prodID=44005

FlorianKonnertz coined the terms "personal private wiki" and "personal public wiki". The "personal public wiki" is like a homepage, viewable by all. The "personal private wiki" is like a PIM -- it contains private material not intended for other people.
The key point is that it should be easy to move pages from the private to the public areas and back. Moving them into the public area is "publishing". Whether "moving" means actually moving files or data from one distinct wiki to another, or just enabling and disabling password protection of a page in a single is implementation specific. This can be expanded, however, such that "publishing" effectively goes out and publishes pages on external wikis. The important part is the user-inteface: There should be as little difference between publishing on your own site and publishing on other sites.
Another point is that it should be easy to "import" things (specially pages) of interest from outside into the personal wiki, so that they can be worked upon. This goes beyond mere bookmarking, or RssInclusion. You want to actually copy the external page, work upon it, and then maybe publish it again. "Importing" can also be similar to "subscribing" -- in this case pages from external sources seem to have been copied into your personal wiki, but they will only be copied upon demand. This is a little user-interface tweak that is supposed to support the notion that pages just float in and out of your personal wiki, and the borders between pages on the "outside" and your "personal" pages will seem to disappear.
See XmlRpcToWiki for one piece of the puzzle required to build such a system.

I use infocetera 2.0 as my personal PIM. It is years old already but I still have not been able to find something which can replace it. Is is fully self-containing and it using TCL. You can generate databases for addressbook, schedule, agenda, buglists, issuetracking, todo list, ect. and it also includes a wiki. This is for me the only weak point as the functionality of the wiki is limited. (Although one can import any of the other tools mentioned above in a wiki page. This is truly a nice feature).
The http://www.infocetera.com site has been down for some time now so I guess a new version will never happen :-(
Greetings, JeroenRoeterd?
I use [Jreepad] - an open-source PIM. It's very simple and straightforward - just a tree-like structure, for storing plain text. It does have a basic wiki functionality - you can treat WikiWords as links to different nodes.... Dan
Some people might find SdiDesk useful as a Pim with UseMod-like syntax and functionality. -- PhilJones
I was experimenting with a wiki for ProjectManagement on my own little PIM wiki, http://www.maplepark.com/~drf5n/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?ActionItems , and found the following concepts interesting for developing a wiki Group Information Management system:
Is the use of a Wiki as a Group Information Manager interesting? -- DavidForrest
