I have done exhaustive searching through the web expending many hours on slow internet connections to find some solutions to this situation. What I have found to be the best possible solution is
Stone Notes I downloaded the demo and then after much consternation paid for the program. It so far seems to be the best alternative for organizing my data/information. I am hoping that I can get it adapted to some sort of flash card function.
The developer/author is working on HTML export, I am hoping that it will work on the iLiad. That might come close to approximating a wiki on the iLiad. The author of the program seems keen on taking input from his customers. After I bought the program I even got a personal email from him thanking me for my purchase.
So far, for the time being this program should hopefully fit the bill for organizing the information that I need to compile for my uses even if it doesn't initially work on the iLiad. It is WYSIWYG and that is one of the most important features for me.
There are a bunch of other programs out there that came close, but I lost interest with because of the need to input formatting manually. I am not the best typist in the world and learning to put formatting tags into whatever text I am entering is just too time consuming. Some of the programs that I checked out were; Zulupad, Wikidpad, StickWiki, TiddlyWiki, StoneNotes & ConnectedText, to mention a few. A couple other alternatives are Linux based and looked rather interesting. These were Tomboy, and Zim. Zim can be loaded into windows but is still pretty buggy in that environment. Out of what I saw the best programs were some of the simplest. Zulupad, Wikidpad, Zim, StickWiki, and some of what I saw of Tomboy. Since Zulupad, Wikidpad and StickWiki are not WYSIWYG that kind of eliminated them, though I will keep an eye on them as they might integrate features that are more useful to me/us in the future. I don't care for the TiddlyWiki interface, and since it appears that it builds the page in such a way that everything is in close proximity to each other that sort of negates the flashcard function. If you anyone has anymore insight on that I am willing to listen, but in spite of all that it is still not WYSIWYG.
The thing about a lot of these smaller specialized programs is that once they fit the bill for most of the developer's needs upgrades and further functionality usually stop being implemented and the program "stagnants" for the rest of us.
I would like to get into Linux more, but due to a number of programs that I am tied into I am still kind of mired into the Windoze world. Time getting it up and running on my devices is also a concern.
My interest in the wiki for the iLiad has nothing to with web integration or the ability for others to edit the file. It is just a excellent interface for holding and accessing information.
The iLiad to me at least seems to be right on the verge of being a breakthrough device. The advanced functionality that was at least built into the device was one of the reasons that I purchased it. I read the Infopad article, that sort of fits my bill though I would in the very least like to be able to play music. Additionally if it could run some small Palm type programs that would be real neat. The thing is that the iLiad could be treading the road of the Apple Newton and it will be the Sony Reader that trumps it.
