WIKINDX

I originally started developing this as a means to help organise my PhD research by cataloguing 
bibliographic notations, references, quotes and thoughts on a computer via a program that was not 
tied to a single operating system (like similar and expensively commercial software) and that could 
be accessed from anywhere on the web (unlike other systems).  Additionally, I wanted a quick way 
to search, for example, for all quotes and thoughts referencing a keyword or to be able to automatically 
reformat bibliographies to different style guides.

Since this is a system designed to run on any web server, I thought its use could be expanded to groups 
of researchers who could all contribute to and read the index.  This concept is very similar to a Wiki 
Encyclopaedia where anyone can add or edit entries in an on-line encyclopaedia.  An example of a such 
a wikipaedia can be found at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Hence the name WIKINDX. (WIKI was the all-knowing robot in 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'.)

Developed under the GNU GPL license, the project homepage can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikindx/
and the required files/updates are freely available there.


WIKINDX Requirements (and has been tested on):
PHP >= v4.3.10
MySQL >= v3.23.xx
Apache >= 1.3x (or any web Server able to run PHP scripts).
The client accesses the database via a standard (graphical) web browser.
