Never mind the digression on screen clutter. To customize the layout of a Piggydb screen, you can simply edit the corresponding HTML file, then shutdown and restart Piggydb. The script calls are in nested tables. Removing the sidebar from the fragment view window was just a matter of opening fragment.htm and removing the cell in which the sidebar widgets reside. Pretty neat.

Yes, I have to say I think it’s pretty amazing, and the developer (who is, I assume, Japanese) is also very responsive and has outstanding English. He’s got some interesting entries on his blog, too, discussing e.g. the difference between concept and mind mapping, and his frustrations in attempting to create a knowledge builder rather than a knowledge finder. I like the idea of using it with Firefox - being able to view multiple fragments side by side is, for me, a sine qua non. Take a look at Barnes & Noble’s NOOKstudy, incidentally, for an amazing example of side-by-side document viewing built into an application from scratch (the software is free, but you need to create a B&N account, which is a mildly annoying). The link is:

Many thanks for this guidance! Common access is not a problem for me, as there are no secrets in my team (that I am aware of… :-)
Is there any indication of how many concurrent users the system can support? We would not require more than 7-10 tops.

Plone and MindTouch yes, and I find them more complex than needed. I need something that would require minimal training and administration. In this regard Kerio looks ideal, but I’m still waiting for the price announcement. Thanks for the heads up on ocPortal, I’ll be checking it out.
It’s a shame that many of the applications that we discuss here are not client-server applications (even though internally they may use such an infrastructure via SQLite) allowing for easy deployment in a joint SOHO environment; there are exceptions of course. I’m looking forward to test Citavi Team as soon as it is out.
As hosted solutions go, especially for multinational teams, the most powerful and value-added solutions I have found are Huddle and Glasscubes.

Piggydb v6 is out and includes some interesting goodies including a more streamlined interface. There’s now a supporter’s edition ($10) which adds .CSS customisation.
