Wikitastic!

I recently discovered two neat "desktop" wiki apps; that is, apps which run wikis on your desktop without a browser and a web server, using a rich native client: one for OS X recommended to me by Jenson, and one in some quick idle surfing tonight looking for a similar thing for Windows.

VoodooPad for OS X


wikidPad for Windows

Both are shareware/trialware and are reasonably priced: VoodooPad is $19.95, WikidPad is $12.00. What would be really neat is if they could both import/export some standard format, for interoperability's sake (both have the ability to export as HTML; VoodooPad can export to other formats as well, including iPod Notes and iPod Contacts, etc.). More fanciful would be wikidPad integration with say, w.bloggar (and on OS X, VoodooPad integration with BlogApp, for instance) so I could easily post things in my wiki to my blog. Both could just implement the Blogger API, but being able to pass off wiki pages to these kinds of apps would allow for formatting and wider API support for other blogs with comparatively little effort.
