Alternative desktop Wikis to Tomboy...

[Sslaxx]

I've purged Tomboy (and Mono) from my machine. I am unhappy at the thought of using anything tainted by Novell.

Of course, now I need to find an alternative desktop Wiki program. Last time I tried Zim it had issues with the Places menu on GNOME, so I'm leery of running it again. I used to use Newton, but that seems abandoned. Are there any others worth using out there?

personally, i think thats a bit extreme. i'm going to continue using tomboy and other mono applications because i want to use what gets the job done.

try notecase or notemeister. put "wiki" into search facility here: http://gnomefiles.org

Check out Instiki.

Newton doesn't like something - looks like GTK. It keeps on crashing.

Try Moin Moin - it is in python and will work on the desktop on Linux, Mac, and Windows as well as the web. It is GPL too.

Theres also Wixi and Tagore.

That's an actual "wiki" program for websites, I think the OP is asking for something like a "sticky note" program. ;)

Last time I tried Zim it had issues with the Places menu on GNOME, What exactly were those issues?

[ComplexNumber]

What exactly were those issues?
i would bet that it was due to unfulfilled python dependencies.

What exactly were those issues?
Well, the 'Computer' item from the 'Places' menu would call up Zim instead for some reason...

I don't think that was a zim issue. I have zim installed on Edgy and I don't have it.

I use Moin Moin. It seems to work pretty well for me.

If you insist on changing applications, Basket is the killer Linux note taking application. Tomboy is a toy in comparison.

But since Tomboy obviously works for you, I suggest the following actions:
1) Reinstall Mono.
2) Reinstall Tomboy.
3) Commit no more knee-jerk reactions to business deals you have not seen and don't understand based on the BS spouted by idiots on Slashdot, who also have not seen and don't understand it.

I have installed MoinMoin as stand alone server as documented in the wiki and everything is working fine. I can access it from the computer that it is installed on at http://localhost:8000.

Now, how do i make it accessible to the rest of the computers on our local network?
