A robust personal wiki would be a killer app for me on my N800. I'm specifically looking for something that will work offline, so I don't need an internet connection to read and edit the wiki.

Basic formatting and images would be great, as would plain-text storage of pages.

I've installed DokuWiki, using the nginx web server and PHP on the N800. It works, but it's a little sluggish. Also, you have to use MicroB because Opera will always try to establish a data connection, even if you are connecting to localhost.

I know there's an awful lot of Python code floating around, and I'm mostly unfamiliar with it. Anyone know of anything worth trying out wiki-wise on the N800?

Have you tried tiddlywiki.com?
It's self contained in a single html and works fine with Opera and Microb. I think this has been suggested on the forum in the past.

I worry that TiddlyWiki might not gracefully handle a large amount of data, due to its single-file approach.

But it is a good suggestion that I had forgotten about, so thanks! I'll check it out.

Any others?

does tiddlywiki work reliably?

somebody reported success with moin moin some times ago... but never heard back

I've seen tiddly's up to 100MB in size (thats a lot of text folks). As for Moin Moin. That's what wikipedia runs. But for lightweight, tidly is it. IMHO

Excellent timing. I just put tiddlywiki on my 770. Seems to work fine, but admittedly I don't have tons of data on it yet.
