Hmmm. No one's written an emacs-wiki / muse editor for the Palm yet,
but if you want a wiki on your Palm, you could check out MegaWiki. Not
quite the solution you're looking for. Hmm. Does anyone on the list
have any ideas?

Yes, emacs-wiki (and muse, the next generation) are really nifty. What
improvements do you have in mind?

You can use <lisp> tags to evaluate a Lisp expression during
publishing, or define your own tag, or use a template function.

As for daily pages, emacs-wiki-journal.el (part of emacs-wiki) and
planner-el (the thing that produces my site) might be interesting.
