You may or may not find these useful:

SBook (originally programmed for NeXT):
http://www.simson.net/ref/sbook5/
you can put whatever you like in each separate entry, then do  
lightning-fast search as you type to find it

Frontier:
http://frontierkernel.org/
pretty decent outliner/scripting interface (like AppleScript), has  
built-in web server
you can use it as just an outliner if you choose; one-key export to HTML
OS9-ish looking interface in some areas
