And these are all great except they're all more complicated than they need to be. You can accomplish almost every single thing found in these other methods with what I call Wayne's Wiki." 9 comments

@neauoire @bouncepaw My definition of wiki is a set of named pages with crosslinks, some way to easily jump between pages. In contrast with chronological notes, which are not named. By this definition I think Wayne's wiki qualifies. The foundational yin and yang of the knowledge-management universe are (b)logs and wikis. (And tags help convert between them, but that's a separate story.) What's your definition? 🙂 @akkartik @bouncepaw history and editability I think, I never really thought about this until now I suppose. I guess a text file could be a wiki, but if the suggestion is "Using Emacs/vim-style file system navigation is just moving the complexity of a wiki engine into an IDE", I'd feel a bit duped. @neauoire @bouncepaw "search for word at cursor" is a pretty simple thing. I wouldn't call editors that provide it IDEs. But yes, that's what I meant by "foundational" above. Wikis are so simple that every computer is a wiki engine. Your point about version control is a good one. OP is outsourcing that to git. Which is reasonable, but I still consider version control quite complex. So I'm overstating how foundational wikis are..

@bouncepaw @akkartik I think it has. It's a good name for that stuff. I think memex is a bit out-dated.

@neauoire @bouncepaw @akkartik I think it’s just a writable web page (or more generically, a writable hypertext): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb …which is what TBL had in mind in the first place, but it (the WWW) wound-up read-only for a handful of boring reasons.

@akkartik I don't really understand why this person calls this a wiki, or how it replaces a wiki in any way. 🤔
