Student Notebook and Tiddlywiki are a really brilliant, thanks for sending the
link. I'm hoping to install for myself and recommend to a farm education
program--now that I discovered why the browser and file permissions were
preventing me from saving changes. That seems like something which will be an
issue for many other users--their list of browser incompatibilities
(
)
looks short, at least.
I was still curious to see what other wiki platforms are designed for offline
use, and so without knowing better, I compiled a list:
Hi Adam,
I've been using Tiddlywiki (
http://www.tiddlywiki.com) to have a local
personal wiki of my own.
Its biggest advantage is that the whole thing is in 1 single HTML file
which you can take around with you. It has all the wiki syntax, custom html
formatting between <html></html> tags, search, automatic backup/save,
tags... a lot of features. It's editable on Firefox and in browsers where
it's not editable, it's at least viewable.
It can't embed images into itself, but can display and link to local files
which you store in the same folder or subfolder etc.
Check it out. Maybe we can mix the technologies or import one to the other.
Cheers,
Nikhil Sheth
