Hi list,
I've started using vim lately for my programming needs and I love it,
mostly because the motion and shortcuts are much more efficient. That
aside, I still think emacs is a great platform and text-editor and I
still use it for other stuff, mainly organizing myself (thanks to
orgmode).
Most of the todo/GTD stuff is well handled by org, but I do find that
for reference and brainstorming, a real-time (and straightforward)
wiki is the best solution. I have been managing to keep things simple
by keeping all my reference org files under a (/wiki) folder and
setting peepopen (an OSX cocoa fuzzy-finder
(http://peepcode.com/products/peepopen)) to index specifically this
folder and bound this to Command-w, and it works great for getting a
quick index of the wiki and quickly open a file from it.
However, linking and creating new files is far from optimal. Org-mode
still tries to keep things at the headline-level, instead of at file
level. This works, but for me, not so well. Why? The simple fact that
org asks me if I want to create a target in the current file or in a
another file already gets me out of the zone. I prefer some convetion
over configuration.
It'd be nice if org had, for example, a more org-like wiki (like
wikinodes) and a more traditional one (like VIMwiki). Not sure if
there's another mode I could combo with org that would give the
functionality I want, I'm open to suggestions :)

Just an fyi:
I don't know whether it's generally the case, but I received your
original mail (with date Thu, 6 Jan 2011 09:07:57 -0600) at the same
time as I received your follow-up (with date Fri, 7 Jan 2011 09:03:46
-0600), so either the original mail was hung up at your end or it was
hung up on the list server or some other unfortunate event happened. In
any case, even if I were interested, I would have had no time to
consider it.
Regards,
Nick

Looking at it more closely, it seems to have kicked around the list server
for 24 hours:

Could you please explain what you mean here?
I find C-u C-c C-l to be a very efficient way of creating file links
(both to new and existing files).
Also, the following two settings make it quite easy to open new links:
(setq org-return-follows-link t)
(setq org-open-non-existing-files t)
> Org-mode still tries to keep things at the headline-level, instead of

Again, could you please explain what you mean by this?
The following instructions will make org behave less like an outline and
more like a tradition wiki (such as muse mode):
1. Create links with C-u C-c C-l (even better: rebind this to something
simpler).
2. Use the settings above to open links easily.
3. [Optional] Set org-startup-folded to nil for a "full-page" view.
4. [Optional] Create a single wrapper function that creates a new link,
opens the file, and adds the file to the list of agenda files.
And since org-mode supports inline images and all sorts of hyperlinks,
this will provide everything necessary for a nice wiki system.
Well, almost everything.... I suppose the last step would be to modify
org-wikinodes to allow CamelCase links to files.
Best,
Matt

I'd think org could do anything needed for this. I know Marcelo asked
about separate files, but in principle, a command can allow ido to
help select olpaths, for ease of use.
In principle, it can even create a header and refile it using ido to a
suitable location, and put an org ID link to it at point. Offhand I
don't know of an existing way of doing this.
To get even fancier, agenda can search for the current node's ID -- or
(for excellent fanciness) any other designator in any mode such as
capture recognizes -- so that you have the equivalent of a reverse
link without having to explicitly create a bidirectional link. I
wrote something about this possibility and can dredge it up if there
is interest.
