Woas (my wiki-on-a-stick fork)
Woas is a complete wiki in a single HTML file, forked from stickwiki.
NEW! Works with current IE, Firefox, and Chrome browsers. See the 'Loading & Saving' Woas page for details (in Woas file). Woas is a complete wiki in a single HTML file that works in every major browser, including older versions (even IE6!). It can store and display images and files within itself and is incredibly useful for research and documentation. This is my version of the WoaS (stickwiki) project. It is starting out as the home of my fixes to the 0.12.0 version that I am calling 0.13.0 (and hope will be published as such in the WoaS project), but may transition over time into a new and possibly incompatible version of the original tool, depending on what happens in the original project. I have dropped the 'Legacy' subproject; this project performs essentially the same function. After two years of inactivity it appears there may be life in the old project yet, so I am not making any decisions right now beyond using this project for my own, fixed version of WoaS 0.12.0.
