[SEH] 20060604 -- Looks like it has the potential for being a very sophisticated and useful tool that I would certainly like to try, but it's still in a rough, unfinished state.  Let's give the author some love and encouragement to polish this package up.

[Robert Abitbol] Motivation is needed, yes. We can give him some motivation.  

From the screenshot, I understand this is a sort of word processor - an editor as we call it nowadays-, that has a wiki capacity. This is certainly a very ambitious and very interesting project! 

The best encouragement would be to answer all the technical questions the programmer would have. I'd give him all the technical help but alas! I haven't masterered TCL 101 yet! :-)

Since I am however, a sort of expert at general methods, methodology, time-keeping, office organization I could give one single piece of advice to the programmer: '''go slow'''. Just one item a week. '''Enjoy what you are doing''': that is the most important thing!

Also, don't stay for hours in front of the computer; print code, bring it to the park, take some sun, take it to a MacDonald, a side-walk coffee etc. Enjoy your work and enjoy life while you are working!

But why is it called "wiki"? It does not have wiki-links, as far as I can tell.

[LV] Hard to say - I wasn't able to locate any source in the cvs. However, the brief description talks about hierarchies of notes, so I suspect there must be some sort of hyperlinking capability planned...

[WJG] (04/01/07) The key term was 'Personal Wiki'. If you're expecting a browser-accessed publically editable database, then no, notions doesn't do that. It evolved out of the idea of using a wiki in local mode to organise separate pieces of information; in this case through an heirarchical tree. As pointed out, the version available at Sourceforge doesn't yet allow cross-linking between pages. In fact, I haven't done much more to the application since posting it. 

What makes a wiki a wiki are wiki-links. I would think this also holds for "personal" wikis. A wiki without wiki-links is ... well ... like apple pie without apples.
