I'm commissioned to start a small book project, and vaguely remember seeing a wikilike piece of software that would facilitate this well. I intend to start with a conceptual outline, and then flesh each section out. Any recommendations?
You are supposed to write a book? LaTeX should do fine. If you don't know about LaTeX yet, it will be a steep learning curve though.

I'd recommend checking out Zim 0.52, "A desktop wiki" http://www.zim-wiki.org/
hth & regards,
Carl Looks good, but not available for openSUSE.
I'm running openSUSE 11.4 x86_64 and Zim 0.54 here (I just upgraded Zim) Use the package manager to ensure the prerequisites are installed: gtk+ >= 2.6 python >= 2.5 python-gtk python-gobject python-simplejson (for python < 2.6) python-xdg (optional, but recommended) xdg-utils (optional, but recommended) Download the tarball and decompress it in your home directory. Add a launcher to your panel... Name: "Zim - a desktop wiki" Command: "/home/<you>/zim-0.54/zim.py" Icon: "/home/<you>/zim-0.54/icons/zim16.svg" You're done. Spend a little time reading the FAQ and related docs on the website. Play around with it a little bit. If you don't use it for the book you might just use it for other things, as I do. It's not too simple, not too complicated... it just gets the job done. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
