TiddlyWiki for Note Taking...need a roadmap

[HDave]

I just switched from Windows and Ubuntu and am looking for a
replacement for Phatnotes which I used for the past several years,
quite happily.

After a painful review of the current state of linux notepad, I have
found the only decent one being basket for KDE...and since I am Gnome,
I really don't want to use it. I also would really like something
that I can run under windows and on my pocket pc and supports sync.

I realize there are many plug-ins for Tiddly, so I think I can
accomplish what I want, but I am not sure.

I am looking for the ability to have list of Tiddlers in a table with
columns for title, category, last modified date, creation date. This
way I can quickly scan the list to find my note and click on it to
have it expand right there....or possibly show up on the page always
in the same spot.

I'd also like to maintain multiple tiddlywiki pages (one for business,
personal, research, quotes, etc.)

here's a link to the screenshot of the tool, I'd like to more or less
replicate... (I don't care about identical look and feel...more
focused now on functionality).

Can anyone point me to a site that looks like this?

Thanks for a total newbie!!

You could use the ForEachTiddlerPlugin* for that:
http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#ForEachTiddlerPlugin
The resulting macro call would look somewhat like this:
---------------
<<forEachTiddler
write '"|[[" + tiddler.title + "]]|"
+ tiddler.created.formatString("YYYY-0MM-0DD") + "|"
+ tiddler.modified.formatString("YYYY-0MM-0DD") + "|"
+ tiddler.tags.join("; ") + "|\n"'
begin '"|!Title|!Created|!Modified|!Tags|h\n"'
>>
---------------

You might also be interested to use the TableSortingPlugin with that:

You'd best create separate TiddlyWiki documents for that, and cross-link
the files (e.g. "[[Personal|personal.html]]").
This might be of help there:
