Re: [Ldsoss] Open source or free diary/journal software recommendation
Here is the "Linux" desktop application I use. I know you are looking for a windows based application. Due to the fact that this application is built upon KDE which is a wrapper around Qt, it may not be too hard to port to Qt and therefore run it under Windows.

I'm currently writing a diary using RST, here's a blog entry on the subject ( http://panela.blog-city.com/restructuredtext_is_cool.htm ), which contains the pros/cons and why I went with it. I'm so far quite satisfied with my decision. -matt On 6/16/06, Charles Fry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mediawiki might be too heavy, but there are a lot of FLOSS blogging > packages that are pretty much the same as a journal.
