Is Project Management a science or an art?

Best wiki to use as personal notebook (esp. 1. project management, 2. annotated bibliography, 3. science research and notes)

  • I wondering what the best wiki is to use as a personal notebook. I will be using it for project management (GTD style), but also as an annotated bibliography and for research notes. Tagging is a must and being server based is preferable. I've looked into tiddlywiki and stikipad and others, but there's so many and I'm not sure at all what the best requirements for an annotated bibliograph would be for instance (entering a book title, authors, and then notes on it).

  • Answer:

    Dokuwiki is really easy to setup.

I use http://mediawiki.org for exactly this, and I found the install fairly easy (if you can read docs and use linux even slightly it's cake, no mysql knowledge required). Never done it on windows.

I just signed up with http://www.siteground.com/ for a personal wiki. They will install the script for you. They offer Tikiwiki, PhpWiki and Mediawiki. (Maybe others if you ask.) I'm using Mediawiki just because I am so used to it. I think the template for an annotated bibliograph is something you have to add on yourself. If using MediaWiki I think the templates would be easy to find and install. Siteground has great customer service. But they just install the software. You have to tweak it yourself.

gtdtiddlywiki. Not server based, but a nice adaptation of tiddly.

Instiki is quite nice as well. Simple and easy, without the huge community-oriented structure of MediaWiki.

http://instiki.org is great. Might be exactly what you're looking for — it's creator http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000231.html.

Yeah, MediaWiki really is overkill for anything other than large community projects. Its... so... slow... Personally, I'd go with TiddlyWiki on a thumbdrive. With backups.

I was using http://twiki.org/, running off of my laptop, to keep track of my personal and school-related projects. It uses RCS to keep track of version information. One caveat is that you have to tweak your server/cgi settings to make it run fast, otherwise perl gets started every time you access a page, which makes the wiki dog slow. Once you get it running, it runs perfectly fine.
