Welcome to !
This wiki is about personal information management. It's about finding a personal information management system that allows groups of people to collaborate on personal organization. See Category:Contents for a categorized list of many articles on this, or Special:AllPages for a list of all pages.

Core elements
Important elements to consider include:


 * wiki interoperability - what tools are the most helpful? What's the most interoperable wiki format?  Markdown, which one?  Is pandoc the best general-purpose conversion tool, or are there others?
 * storage - does a personal wiki need a database? What about just having text files on a POSIX filesystem?  What sort of "text" is valid?  Is any valid UTF-8 formatted character acceptable?
 * organization - should a good personal wiki need to allow hierarchy? Aren't tags just as good?
 * time - how is it expressed? what units of time are useful/important?  Are ISO weeks useful?  What about calendar quarters?

Candidates

This is not about reinventing the wheel. It's about discovering the most functional wheels that exist, and figuring out how to put them on a useful mode of transportation.

At one point, Evernote was most popular personal notetaking system. It is still very popular, but other systems (such as OneNote and Google Keep have emerged). Additionally, systems such as Zimwiki have made an interesting tradeoff between usability and open development. See Applications for a list of options being considered for interoperability in the Myndmess ecosystem.
