I used to be an avid user of WikiDPad, and I loved the way it automatically (or manually, using [ ]) created links and files to these links (CamelCase) for me. The way it provided a visual tree of the wiki was also pretty cool. This was awesome for reference kind of data, to build your own knowledge base. I've been trying to test different approaches with org, but none of them work as smoothly as it worked for me when using wikidpad. I divide reference data in two main categories: Dynamic and Static. Static are the notes and stuff that youl want to keep somewhere and that you'll eventually refer to later. Dynamic are the kind of that you'll be editing often, but does not fit in any other category GTD-wise. It is reference, you want to keep it somewhere, not take action on it per se (other than editing it), but you want to expand and modify it often. How difficult would it be to implement a small system that would index the files of directory, get the names (camel-case) and automatically link to these names if written on an org buffer? My elisp skills are very weak as of now. I know some of you might list a number of points against implementing this, but I really loved the way Wikdpad created links on the fly. Thanks, Marcelo
