In which case WIKINDX will do the job.

Actually, close is as good as a cigar for my kind of writing, creative nonfiction. Essays don’t require heavy, formal citation, but I use a lot of sources, and I like to keep track of them. It can be a very unpolished result for my needs. I’m most interested in knowing that when I wrote X I consulted or made reference to A, B, and C.

We’ll be releasing v3 of wikindx in a day or two. I don’t think it has _exactly_ what you’re looking for but it is a direction we’re heading in and is certainly something I would like for my work. I’d like to be able write a whole paper (or have a team of researchers/writers around the world collaborate on a paper) within wikindx with automatic citations/bibliography etc. integrated with the bibliographic database in wikindx. I don’t claim it will produce a polished result suitable for sending to the printers but it will eventually be able to produce something that can be exported to PDF Creator or OpenOffice (or similar) for final polishing with the minimum of fuss.

Internally, we have a CMS that does that. Externally, if it’s not vetted we won’t offer it. You have Google for that.

Couldn’t YPOW use a wiki for quick link-farming?

Thanks! I am hoping that most wikis are inherently cross-walkable (betting they are, from reading the documentation) so that my book wiki and my citation wiki can interwiki. I also need to ensure that I have good backups going, of course.

I have been using Wiki-as-memory-bank for the past four+ years and find that it can be extraordinarily productive (esp. as my meat-based memory banks become increasingly unreliable!) … for other modes of using Wiki see Leuf & Cunningham’s book THE WIKI WAY (Addison-Wesley, 2001 = http://leuf.com/ww/wikicom?TheWikiWay etc.) … Bo Leuf hosts my “ZhurnalWiki” and is an Incredibly Helpful Person — you may wish to contact him, or me, for further info … - ^z = Mark

Gloryoski, mamamusings! Thank you so much. I will put that on the list of things I’m going to install after this semester. Do you use it?
