Personal wiki and multiple desktops

Monday, July 4th, 2005

I’ve found PersonalWiki a good way to keep a lot of information that was previously distributed in text files, outlook, jabber histories, etc. It’s a single, low-friction, hypertext place, with lots of good search capabilities, and my implementation is based on a free and open solution with a great support community (MoinMoin).

Now that I’ve got MultipleDesktops working smoothly for simple things using Subversion, the obvious question is can I use it to keep my PersonalWiki synchronized across machines as well?

Yes, and I’m rather happy with the result; see this experience paper for details (a wiki page at MoinMoin itself).
