Weeell, it all started with me downloading garden, and thinking, "that's 
exactly what I need", but then I realized I was missing rich text 
editing features, on the other hand, I felt it has too many dependencies.

In the end I threw out everything but the UI and created my own 
WikiMarkup parser (by brute force) and a "sort of" persistence engine 
(hold it in memory, but write out everything at the earliest possible 
moment to be able to read it in in case of a crash.

What I am really aiming at, is to integrate this with my yet to write 
calendar tool, mailreader, mindmapping tool, you name it.

You see in your calendar a meeting for the current day. The meeting 
description has a link to the topic in the wiki, and to the notes from 
the last meeting. In the Wiki you find links to emails you have recieved 
on the topic, and a link to a relevant webpage.
You find it a bit hard to understand the flow of information, so 
whereever you are, you openAsMindMap your current info snippet, it is 
turned into the main entry of a mindmap, with all relating data layed 
out around it ...

Now it is just a question of who is first, me or the future ... ;-)


Kind regards,
