TiddlyWiki

It seems to me that TiddlyWiki was designed with the goal of providing a SelfContained, portable, personal notes repository. Being a single file, it can be emailed, stored on a Thumb Drive, or stored on a local or shared hard drive. As functionality has been added, it has retained that goal, yet it has grown to be very useful as a complete Web site... environment. In fact, this site runs soley on a single TiddlyWiki file. Really, there isn't much to it other than leveraging the [[elegance|Elegant]] of TiddlyWiki.\n\nIts framework also allows for some easy customization. Several TiddlyWikiAdaptations exist that extend TiddlyWiki's function while retaining the [[Simplicity]] and [[Elegance|Elegant]] of TiddlyWiki. As core TiddlyWiki development continues, TiddlyWikiAdaptations will become easier to manage and create.

Sometimes wikiwiki (or Wikiwiki) is used instead of wiki.\n\nA wiki enables documents to be written collectively (co-authoring) in a simple markup language using a web browser. A single page in a wiki is referred to as a "wiki page", while the entire body of pages, which are usually highly interconnected via hyperlinks, is called "the wiki"; in effect, a very simple database.\n\nA defining characteristic of wiki technology is the ease with which pages can be created and updated. Generally, there is no review before modifications are accepted. Most wikis are open to the general public without the need to register any user account. ...Read More
