Source of code & ideas for improvments to my homebrew system - which could be said to be "moving slowly", I prefer to compare it to slow but sure geological processes...

Update: above link is broken, but this works, and the 43folders wiki has a lot of stuff to say.

The Noguchi Filing System
Basically a physical version of a technique programmers use sometimes - bring the most recent stuff to the front. File stuff in categories once it's dead.

CmapTools
According to Wikipedia I've got mind maps all wrong. Mind maps, apparently, are restricted to "radial" structures (essentially unordered outlines). The maps I do are called "concept maps", and can have any structure (a bunch of nodes with an arbitrary set of connections between them.) Anyway, CmapTools builds concept maps.

edit a whole wiki as a single self-contained html+js+css page. tough to save your work, though.

Instiki
"Instiki is a Wiki Clone that’s so easy to setup and so pretty to look at, you’ll be wondering whether this is a real wiki at all."

I feel a change coming - as if deep beneath the earth, plates are shifting...

Yeah, I'm bragging.

features that email clients should have but don't

• ability to send the same message to a bunch of people, but have it look like you sent to each individual separately

• ability to annotate emails (every application should allow you to annotate anything, actually, but that's another story...)

Mitch Kapor's Weblog

desirable features for that information sharing app i'm going to write someday
info available anywhere (via web, i guess)
editable in-place
drag files onto it (w/right mouse button on windows for copy/shortcut options)
drag web links onto it
plug into external datasources
drag entries around, resize them
recently accessed list (bring-to-front)

(or maybe i'll just use the net clipboard [similar])

Nelson Email Organizer
I kind of hope I'll need this someday, frankly.

I don't know about productivity software that asks you to "smoke something strong" in order to get into the right frame of mind to appreciate it.

Similar to remembrance agents, except designed for non-geeks: sixdegrees.

"Remembrance agents are a set of applications that watch over a user's shoulder and suggest information relevant to the current situation. While query-based memory aids help with direct recall, remembrance agents are an augmented associative memory. For example, the word-processor version of the RA continuously updates a list of documents relevant to what's being typed or read in an emacs buffer. These suggested documents can be any text files that might be relevant to what you are currently writing or reading. They might be old emails related to the mail you are currently reading, or abstracts from papers and newspaper articles that discuss the topic of your writing."
