A Personal Wiki is a non-collaborative Wiki-like application that lets a single individual browse, edit, search, and link together their own personal collection of pages. At present there are at least four applications of this kind written in TCL/TK and downloadable:
Suggestion for a PIM
2004.12.20 WJR Hi - I'm looking for a Tcl/Tk-based addressbook or PIM. Any recommendations? Thanks!
RA2 For a PIM wiki like, I recommend this very wiki we are writing on: Wikit. It works great! Like many have done, you can download it and install it on your hard drive. NoteBook App programmed by Will Duquette can also do the work brilliantly (stand alone no browser required).
{LV] However, most PIMs include some degree of management functionality for the personal information. The wiki doesn't really do much - it provides one search capability. However, it doesn't provide, for instance, the ability to sort ones addresses in various manners, etc. Certainly one can easily use a wiki to collect various pieces of personal information, and then create some coarse degree of hyperlinking between pages. Which makes it functional, and free. That's not a bad way to start. Then perhaps after you've figured out what other features you need, or at least want, you can either look into enhancing the software or locating a more featureful package.

---> If you'd like to change the look of your personal wiki yourself and if you know a little HTML, Eddies Wiki 1.1 is the big favourite in this arena. Download it from http://tinyted.net . More info here: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EddiesWiki . Eddies Wiki (also called Wiki Server) is written in C++; it comes with a server and only a browser is required.
---> WxWidgets was used by RyanNorton to make an excellent cross-platform personal wiki: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxprojects (based on Eddies Wiki)
For a tcl-tk based address-book, try Minkowsky and report on it. I haven't tried it myself...
Enjoy wiki!
