What's new in this version:

New Features

Wikipedia Syntax Support (This currently has more Functionality than Structured Text) to switch between the two use Window/Settings, Structured Text is still default, this is currently a DOCUMENT property. This means the whole document can only be of one type
RTF Export
Toolbar, not all the functions are in the default set, check customize for more
Highlighting of unknown pages

Notes
The title input does not do any checking for link Syntax at the moment, so anything can be entered there, it might not be reachable through links on the page though, this is probably the better mode of operation anyway.
For language features implemented is is best check the sandbox page all the features are tested there

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Hasty judgment: the app seems very passive - Version: 0.5, 10/2/2003 12:20PM PST

With VooDooPad, I could tell immeditaley what its nifty features are -- for any highlighted term it alows Apple-L creation of a new page together with automatic link, and it automatically generates familiar html-ish links "on the fly" as the user types the names of existing page titles. Perhaps Personal Wiki has powers I can't see, but it's certainly a plus that VoodooPad makes its functions intuitively clear.

Toolbar - Version: 0.4, 6/2/2003 12:35PM PST

Those of you with an older version of PersonalWiki might experience a problem with the toolbar where no icons are visible in it. Just go to customize and add the icons you would like to have.

I'm impressed, but… - Version: 0.32, 4/16/2003 01:54AM PST

I would prefer the app to strictly conform to the Wikipedia syntax, and get rid of the StructuredText alternative. Now, Wikipedia syntax is supported partly, not wholly. This application, once it will come to include incremental search (like Notational Velocity.app) and HMTL export (allowing users to produce a complete site from a Wiki file, and synchonize it using rsync, ideally) will be an invaluable tool for publishing your own personal wiki (a new type of weblog) as well as for (open and closed) group efforts. I think the name should change, perhaps: localWiki sounds a little better to me. Finally, keyboard shortcuts and toolbar buttons are needed for switching between editing and browsing mode, and Mac-like commands for applying styles, making links, and so on. Four stars for a very promising alpha release!
