I am actively looking for a desktop wiki I can use to post to my online wikis (yet to be published). They both will be where I store my note taking. I will have one for public (world view) and private (family view). Both of course need good security from hacking or defacing content which generally flies in the face of wikis since they are of course supposed to be about collaboration. I have not completely settled on server side software just yet although MediaWiki, PmWiki, UseModWiki and Oddmuse are high on the list. In advance of that I am also looking at wiki desktops that can be used to edit and publish to server side wikis. Some of the desktop tools (”Personal wiki“) I am looking at are Wiki on a Stick, TiddlyWiki and WikiPad, but I am very much in love with VoodooPad unfortunately for me it is only available for Mac.

I also also am looking how to integrate this with a mobile device as a miki.

Some hybrid products I came across include the Chandler Project and IBM AlphaWorks project QedWiki. Download is at http://files.zend.com/qedwiki/. Here is a video of it in use. Interesting but beyond the scope of what I am doing. Plus this appears to be emerging as commercial software.
