	I personally haven't run it, but there is WiKit, which can run in a 
number of ways, with a standalone Tk console.  I know someone who used 
it as a portable knowledgebase on their laptop.

As I tend to like MediaWiki, I've got it running on my laptop locally, 
but I've got resources to burn on that thing.  I do recall that someone 
did something to make MediaWiki run as a "mini" version using SQLite 
(links below), but I've never investigated it.  I think it also requires 
a webserver to run still, but lighttpd with PHP doesn't consume that 
much overhead.
