WikidPad

Not to be confused withWikipad, the gaming tablet.

WikidPad is an open source, Python-based wiki-like outliner for

WikidPad
storing thoughts, ideas, to-do lists, contacts, and other notes with wiki-
like linking between pages.

The WikidPad system uses a database to tie together individual text

documents that the user creates into a wiki-like notepad. Wiki-links
can be created by writing a word in CamelCase or enclosing a word or
words with single brackets, allowing easy ways to create a mini-wiki
on a certain subject easily. Single wiki pages and complete wikis can
be exported to HTML.

WikidPad was created by Jason Horman who released it under his own
open source license, similar to the BSD license, in June 2005. Since
October 2005 Michael Butscher has been the main developer of
WikidPad running on Windows
