Apologies to @Alexander Deliyannis and others.
In my last post above, I abbreviated:
- “InfoSelect version 8” to “IS8” and
- “Clipboard Help & Spell” to “CHS”.
(I would have gone back and edited the post after making it, but it seems that you can’t do that on the system for this forum.)

No problem, I should have guessed it based on your non-abbreviated references in the same phrase. I was just confused by your reference to wikis and the parentheses; I wondered whether the abbreviations referred to some wikis I had never heard about—goodness knows there are hundreds of them out there…

I would expect Onenote to do this (and Curio on the Mac), however I don’t see in Onenote 2007 the option to move a page with the mouse—i.e. turning the cursor into a hand icon- only with the scroll bars at the bottom and right.
Other than this, Onenote does provide a very big, though not infinite, corkboard: view it in 200% for detail and at 25% for overview. It is also printable, which may come in handy.

Thanks for mentioning that. I took a cursory glance at Onenote a couple of times but I never realised it had that feature. That is actually quite interesting.

Microsoft’s modest and free Stickysorter is another tool that can provide this kind of virtual corkboard. I used it recently for group brainstorming sessions and it came in quite handy.
Stickysorter, mentioned here in the past, is a product of Microsoft Labs and it’s a bit rough around the edges; e.g., organising notes around a large space means constantly switching from ‘select’ to ‘pan’. That said, it is quite intuitive (especially for the audience), it’s free—so everyone can install it and be given access to the session results- and it saves its data in .CSV format.
It is no longer available from the original Microsoft Labs location, but you can find it in many libraries, e.g. http://www.downloadcrew.com/article/23100-stickysorter
