Dave Winer has a great aspiration for programmers to engage with long-projects that involve a teaching role.

Hey Phil,

I discovered you while looking at the Smallest Federated Wiki today and remembered SdiDesk from many years ago. I wanted to thank you for seeding an early interest in wiki software in me at an early age.

I've been looking for a replacement to SdiDesk for a long time and the past few weeks have been toying around with some alternatives. While SFW is great, I can't bring myself to eschew the benefits of a desktop client and some of the recent rich Markdown editors (namely http://www.foldingtext.com, because the same developer's TaskPaper has interesting filtering) have gotten me very excited lately.

Anyway, just wanted to drop by and say thanks since SdiDesk has been on my mind a fair amount lately. I'm hoping to get my own Smallest Federated Wiki running soon once I find the time. Maybe tomorrow!

PS. You should add some kind of comments section to ThoughtStorm if you haven't already (I couldn't find it).
