What is a PersonalWiki? It's like WardsWiki, but it's yours.
It can be:
Personal wikis that come with a server (and need a browser)
Personal Wikis that don't need a server but require a browser
Stand-alone personal wikis that don't require a server or a browser
Web-based Personal Wikis
PersonalWiki for Editors/IDEs
PersonalWiki for HandHeld
