I just found planner a couple of days ago and I have been using it
quite a bit, including starting the contact database that I was
planning on moving into BBDB from various sources.  Planner/wiki is
nice because you can make a pretty nice free form tag or header based
database with embedded links without having to worry about *any* file
format (other than the simple wiki markup in your file), and it works
well with external Unix tools if you follow something like the
email/usenet message structure format.  I'm still in the design
process and trying some ideas, but wiki/muse is a really nice place to
start that doesn't require any coding to get your data in a ... uh
... base :)
