best GUI from the point of view of long-time support

[alexxxm]

I'm thinking about writing a simple wiki to deal with a large amount of data/pages I collected.
This data is important and will be hopefully maintained along the years, so I'd like to write my wiki with the widget set that I foresee will be supported most in the future - I dont want to rewrite everything every two years...
I'll program it in Python, so I was thinking about using TkInter.

What do you think?

This may not be the answer you're looking for but don't any other existing wiki solutions work for your situation? There are some (take Wikipedia for example) who have millions of pages of data.

what I'm using now is a simple/useful wiki: (zim)http://www.zim-wiki.org/, which treats each page as a text file.
By using a script I wrote (zimDMS) http://www.inrim.it/~magni/zimDMS.htm, I'm able to map all my directory structure to a wiki, and to keep it updated. Then, I'm able to freely comment each page.

This way, from a directory structure that I'm using since many years, I created a wiki with tens of thousands of pages, hundreds of which are already commented.
This is the metadata structure that I'd hate to loose - if zim (implemented on python/GTK) would for some reason stop being supported.

So I wanted to implement a simple translation of its basic features on a widget set that I can hope will remain supported in years to come!

+1 for zim.
