The lab notebook model I have in mind centers around an offline editor that can interact with the wiki. In the lab, I would rather use all my offline tools to create lab notebook entries, and then post them to the wiki after I have had a chance to review them at the end of the day. The basic idea would be to use a text editor pluggin to:

  • Create Entries:
    1. Edit an entry from a template offline
    2. Using the page title and date, post the entry to a new page
  • Edit existing entries:
    1. grab a list of all pages under a certain root path (I imagine all my lab notebook entries to be under Julius_B._Lucks/lab_notebook/ for example)
    2. Selet a page and retrieve the content
    3. Post the content with a comment on what changes were made

The best way to describe what I mean is by viewing the screencast on blogging with textmate. This can be achieved through an api to access the wiki in very much the same way that the xmlrpc api's work with common blogging platforms (Wordpress,Blogger,etc.)

I am more than happy to develop a TextMate pluggin to do this, and I am sure others would do so with other editors if such an api was available.
