Vimki is a great little personal wiki that I'm using which acts as a plugin to vim. I've modified it a bit and so I am posting the changed version here.

The original version can be found here: Vimki Homepage. I don't think the author is maintaining it anymore, though I haven't been in touch with him. From his blog it seems he's switched to using PmWiki.

You download my modified vimki that I use here: vimki-0.1.tar.bz2

Here is a list of the changes that I made:

• Changed the tagging system from using some internal scripting to just launch ctags. There is a ctags configuration file that you will need to add to your system which is now included. I put some instrutions in Install.vimki for it.
• If the command to create a new tag is invoked but no name is specified, then it just fails silently
• Creating a new tag, creates a new page (which isn't new), with a back link on it to the referring page (which is new)
• Creating a new tag to an existing page creates a back link on the existing page back to the referring page
• When a new tag is created, the current page is saved, the tags are updated, and vim jumps to editing the page linked to by the tag.
