That doesn't seem much different from the many other "personal desktop wikis" out there with the exceptions: 1) It's all self contained in _one_ big file that gets loaded into the browser (except for images). 2) It uses solely javascript. One thing I notice is that the snazzy javascript used to bring up the "tiddlers" with some cool effects that become really slow when the tiddler is larger than a few lines, especially if it has to scroll down the window to display it. While the portability is nice, the single-file approach would seem to only work for small documents. For a little more space, you can include Desktop MoinMoin with a python install on a thumb drive and get much more (you also have to start it every time, so that makes it harder to use than TiddlyWiki). In any case, it's interesting. -Roberto _______________________________________________ Gnumed-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumed-devel
