In that vein, there's vimwiki https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki a markup DSL and some vimscript, works, plaintext so still grepable (I'd suggest the_silver_searcher over grep these days), will export to HTML - soup On Tue, May 21, 2024 at 3:26 PM John Stoffel via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

Sadly no. I've looked at DokuWiki a couple of times.
I've *run* dokuwiki and mediawiki for $WORK a couple of times... but never used them in anger either.
The problem is this. I'm lazy. The lowest barrier to entry is simply a directory called "Notes" with a bunch of text files. Being text and using a unix-like system, I've got tools like grep to find stuff.
Me too, I have *tons* of files will all kinds of notes and ideas. Works great from a GUI login, and also works from an SSH text only connection as well.
I figure the next lowest thing is some program that lets me take notes that I can then organize into some index and search against it as well. Beyond that now it becomes hosted somewhere, etc.
I keep wanting to learn 'org-mode' in emacs. But I never get there.
What I do use is a little header lines in emacs and a setup where it updates the date whenver I save the file. This way I know when I last edited the file (inside emacs at least) which is a great way to keep on top of things.
I'd be happy to share with what I do in emacs.

Hey Tim,
I might have missed it, but I'm curious if you came to any
conclusions about these tools.
thanks, Mike

At last night's meeting, a new attendee brought up a problem she
was having and one of the
solutions that got bandied about was Joplin.
After doing some research, this might be my new note taking app. Another very interesting FOSS tool out there is called "Trilium" https://github.com/zadam/trilium
As much as I like google's keep.. I'm fully aware that google
capable of just pulling the
rug out from under me in a moment's notice.
I've spun up U22.04.3 server and I'm going to tinker with Joplin
and possibly Trilium and
let people know what I think of them.
