Hi,

I am starting a PhD and I need a tool to take notes and organize
them.  My
editor is vim since a while, so why not using vim for this.  To
organize my
notes, I was thinking of a wiki; so I try the viki script, which works
fine,
but I want to know what do you think about it?  Should I use a real
wiki, and
edit each page with vim ? Should I continue to viki ? Something else
(wikipediafs,zim editor, another text based wiki : dokuwiki, moinmoin
wiki, hatta ?) ?

What I don't like with viki is the inability to make a real wiki
editable with
a browser from the files, and vice-versa. (if I edit a page with my
browser,
how to update the viki files ?)
In a first time, I don't really need this feature, but in a second
time, if I
want to exchange this note with my director, would be great if he can
comment
some part of the note with a web browser.


Here is a sample of how I work :

 What I do, is for example, taking notes at a reunion like :
 - we speak about this stuff.; and..
 - todo : read the paper by bla about blabla
 - send mail to .. bla etc..

 after that, I read the paper, and take note about it : resume : it
really speak
 about bla with bla bla.; I like the way..  the file is here :
 http://bla.com/blabla.pdf

 and after that, I write a paper using latex, and need to cite the
different
 papers that I read (I use latex + bibtex for this).


So how do you do for managing this kind of things, how to organize
it ? (for
each papers should I do a file that contain my note about it, the
bibtex entry,
and a link to the pdf ?)

And a more out of ml topic :
- Do you know some guide to organize your work specially during a
phd ?
- Do you know a good spell and grammar checker (running under linux)
for
  english (I have a really low english level) ?

Thx in advance
