Talk:Personal Knowledge Management

The thing about Personal Knowledge is that you need to manage it it all the time, not just when in front of a computer. I find NoteStudio very useful on my Mobile Device. It can even sync back to the desktop. They have a free demo version but it is really commercial. It would be interesting to use a scaled down version of SemanticMediaWiki on such a device for more detailed control of tasks,contacts,settings etc (I hardly use the built in applications anymore because of the consistent interface and flexibility of a wiki). Yes you can use wireless from the device to a "normal" server, but the interface isn't optimized, often it just too slow for personal data, and sometimes there is no connection, then you are cut off from the data. Maybe SemanticMediaWiki will evolve to have a truly opensource version for Mobile Devices now that the distinction between pda and phone is blurring, and there are easy options to program for them for instance with J2ME. Ideally it would use SyncML to update your personal or office server version for what is entered when not connected. Access Control Lists can let multiple users control how they share their data with each other.
