Questions answered by this recipe

How can I use PmWiki for organizing personal data -eg, as a PIM?

Solution for PIM while browsing (Firefox version)

  1. Create a page on your wiki to add information while your are browsing
  2. Visit the page in edit mode
  3. Bookmark it
  4. Right-click on that bookmark and select "Properties"
  5. Check the box that says "Load this bookmark in sidebar"
  6. Open it and that's it, you're done!

Notes

Unless you cart it in a laptop, you may want to replicate your wiki/data across the various location you use it in

If you want to run on a localhost, check Requirements

The Standalone recipe provides a special, bare-bones webserver application that can be used to run PmWiki in places where another webserver isn't available. WikiOnAStick also looks promising.

You can also use InterMap in order to link easily from your local wiki (in order to store very private information like contacts) with your public wiki (in order to showcase your notes, tools, ...).
