That sounds like it _might_ be overkill, maybe...

That being said, the option we use for the "formal" side of this at work
is Zope, as a "document management" system.

I use, instead of a coiled notebook, the Emacs "records" mode:

  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/records/>

It's not real big on connecting to things that aren't text, but does
allow pretty arbitrary file linkages, as well as a pretty decent
indexing system.

What I probably _ought_ to add in is the Remembrance Agent mode
<http://www.remem.org/>, which is an Emacs plug-in that watches over
your shoulder and suggests information relevant to what you're reading
or writing.

Do not worry  about the bullet that  has got your name on  it. It will
hit you and it will kill  you, no questions asked. The rounds to worry
about are the ones marked: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
