Have looked at both vimwiki and docuwiki but am not sure about jumping on
either band wagon.

My projects are not just written material - - - a project may include CADD,
spreadsheets, jpgs, text, pdfs, rarely videos and maybe even some other
information types that I'm forgetting at the moment.

I don't think that I'm expecting to save everything so its all totally visible
in whatever 'info system' I decide to use but would want to have some way
of connecting the location of whatever documents back into that system.

I want to thank both of you for your ideas. It seems something like one
of these could work but I'm not sure about the connecting files back into
either of these. At least I can't see an easy way of doing such.
