But I haven't yet found a theme that works really well for this. WP-as-PIM could be particularly valuable in a multi-user environment if core categories and tags were agreed upon by the group. One of the barriers has been not being able to post from theme home pages. You might <a href="http://p2theme.com/" rel="nofollow">take a look at the P2 theme</a>. It doesn't quite do what I want, but maybe you'll get some ideas from it.

I used Google Notebook until they stopped officially development on it. I currently use MediaWiki but am looking for something simpler and more focused on PIM functionality. I looked at WikkaWikki and am trying that, but I think it will be quicker to just implement the functionality in WordPress since I've already done a lot of PHP coding for my own sites. I'll be interested to see what you come up with. I'm also looking into using WordPress as a PIM. I used Google Notebook until they stopped officially development on it.
