“Although OpenOffice.org Writer and AbiWord top the
list of open source software for those who write for work or fun,
they are not the be-all-and-end-all of writing tools. In fact,
there are quite a few other nifty applications that can help you to
collect ideas, manage notes, edit documents, and even improve your
writing.“TiddlyWiki
“Despite its name, TiddlyWiki is not a conventional wiki. The
entire application consists of just one HTML file, which includes
CSS and JavaScript codes, and everything you enter in the wiki is
stored inside this file as well. TiddlyWiki also does away with
separate pages, and instead it uses so-called tiddlers. Each
tiddler is a text fragment that is stored in the wiki file, and you
can show and hide it. You can also add new tiddlers, delete and
modify existing ones, and shuffle them as you see it fit. This
makes TiddlyWiki a rather useful tool for managing your text
fragments (or using a more fashionable word – microcontent)
in a non-linear manner.“Zotero
