I've *run* dokuwiki and mediawiki for $WORK a couple of times... but
never used them in anger either.

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 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.
