This sounds like a fantastic idea! It would also fit into mmc's
suggestion of hierarchical organization for WikiIndex . I'm looking
forward to getting this patch. =)

If you post it here, other people can take a look at it before I get
around to it (calendared for 2004.03.27, but you know how things are).

Wiki names for files/in/directories will not be magical, but planner
generates explicit links these days, anyway.

Do you want people to specify the full path to disambiguate but be
able to shortcut unique page names? We can keep an alist in memory. =)

planner-search-notes and planner-notes-index will be a little more
complicated. On the other hand, I can just limit it to
current-directory, and make tree searching/indexing a somewhat more
expensive operation.

Ooooh.
