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 :) Marcelo.
