Advice on searchable KBs

[Wolveen]

Hey guys,
I have been taking some good notes on all my issues, fixes, tips/tricks etc for Linux. But I feel its time that I converted my notes from my old notebook into some sort of useable digital format.
I know I can fire up windows and use VB6 and MS Access and have an instant knowledge base up in no time. But of course it wouldnt work so well when in Linux LOL.
I am not 'into' programming but I do create my own apps, utils, databases, etc with VB so at this time I really dont want (or have the time) to learn CLI programming.

What advice/suggestions can you guys give me? I would like to have something that I can just quickly 'draw' a GUI and put in some code and be done with it (like I do in VB).
Or maybe since I am only concerned at this time with getting a searchable knowledebase is there a website or web authoring program that offers a humble home user to create such a thing?

Thanks!

Think wiki. Pywky (http://infomesh.net/pwyky/) comes to mind.

if you want, you can do mediawiki on a php and mysql enabled server....

you can also contribute to the Ubuntu Document Storage Facility (http://doc.gwos.org) or the Ubuntu Wiki or these forums!

Good stuff guys, Thanks!
but not what I was looking for.

got lost on the pwyky install and looks like its all CLI.

Contributing may just be the ticket, though my 'style' probably isnt appropiate. I normally see stuff like "To fix <problem> do A and B then C" I end up spending too much time finding out what A is then running amuck on the net to find what the heck B is, but B usually wont work so then I need to find out why B wont work which takes me to another long search that tells me to try A, B, C, and D and the endless loop begins.

So my notes look like:
To fix this <problem>
1) Open <this>
- if you get "this" error its because of <detail>, so do <this> to fix it.
- if you get "that" error its because of <detail>, you will need to <install> this <linky>
....
4) Your screen should now look like this <picture>
-if you have artifacts on your screen this is <why> heres how to <fix it>
-if you dont have the screen at all then do <this>

I guess its basically a Help file.
