Fiamma (PKM and links wiki)

Hello! I'm exploring this wiki as a possibility for "social" bookmarking and/or Personal knowledge management. Things may break, disappear or explode at any time, as with anything on *.pchr8.net/*.

Currently this wiki contains 1,327 articles and categories (mostly links), edited 2,241 times. The last created pages are on Special:Newestpages.

Using contains basic things I'm likely to forget (Markup, Syntax, Style guide, taxonomy, ...).

Special pages

"Good" pages

Category:Good

• Memory
  • Major system
  • Memory palaces
  • FormulatingKnowledge
• BWT
• CLI

Levels of interaction

(need a better name for it)

• Category:Now learning; PotentiallyInteresting for wider areas of knowledge than books or web pages, that I might check out in some far-away future

• Category:To read
• Category:To read - multi ("list of interesting links")
• Category:To read again ("I read it but definitely need to read it again")
• Category:Prayers ("Keep reading periodically; you shouldn't forget this")

For the pages in those categories, "rating" means "How much do I want/need to read this", "complexity" is "how hard I found it when looking through it"

Triggers

Every time I do one of these, I should visit the pages for things I forget or should keep in mind

• Путешествия
• Vacations
• Melancholy
• Conferences

Links database

The core of this wiki. For now, this wiki will be divided into the following very broad intersecting areas (only most important categories shown):

  • Self-hosting - Self-hosting (~ https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted%7C/r/selfhosted)
• Resources - Sites which I might find continually useful, references
  • Reference - References
    • Constant reference - References I'll be using more often than others.
  • Websites - References
  • Books
• People - Psychology, stories, history, ...

    • Quantified self
• Art - Design, Aesthetics, Literature as an art
  • Visualization
• Language - Languages, uses of language, linguistics
  • Category:Style - In all languages
• Productivity - which includes learning, knowledge organization, speedreading, time management, personal finance, etc.
  • Category:Rule of thumb -- Nice little rules/heuristics to remember.
  • Category:Money -- Personal finance
• Subjects
  • Mathematics
• Travel - everything I find important about (low-budget) travel.
• Sport - sport, especially Category: Body weight training
• Meta - Things dedicated to 'this' wiki

Random

• MOOCs
• PotentiallyInteresting for areas of knowledge that may or may not be interesting, but which are wider than books or webpages that can be added in Category:To read or B:Meta List all books
• OSINT

Additionally:

• Taxonomy - meta-category about ways to organize things (List of examples, ...)
• To read - for when I'm bored.
• Bits and pieces - Small things not fitting anywhere else
• Not a link - pages which are not built around a single link. The actual "Knowledge management" part
• To watch for movies
• Ideas for creative stuff to do

We'll see how this goes.

TODO

Todo: system for quotes, probably using the exact same category system. I'll just add another category or namespace? To fix:

1. SyntaxHighlight
2. Automatically replace the "|"s' in the titles and names; also all the characters outlined in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_title Here are the current scripts
3. Selected text on a page should go in the newly created page, after "----", to signal to the transforming script that those are not the categories anymore, but just additional text. Or at least update the bookmark to support that additional text
4. Fix it not always recognizing Wikipedia links as valid links
5. Make it automatically work with "="s with it being used as a variable (See � https://www.pchr8.net/f/index.php/Using#Additionally)
6. Also remove the ?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+collabfund+%28Collaborative+Fund%29 trash at the end of URLs automatically
7. 4) Google Analytics
8. Make it work with empty titles (using link instead of title, prolly; but what to do with special characters? Or just asking in a prompt)
9. Update to new version to sort the "'"s in title and infinite redirect bug out
10. Some scripts to check for link rot and/or archive the pages?
11. A script which generates "What should you read next", which uses a) rating, b) time added to the Wiki, the more old, the better; then it generates either a wiki page or, even better, RSS. Bonus points for buttons a la "I have read this"
12. Quantified Self -- at what times do I usually add pages ? How long do I take to "read" them? What are the average complexities and ratings I give them, and how it depends on time of the day?

Far away: do an extension with an overlay, where you enter everything or accept defaults by pressing "Enter", then confirm (kinda like the adduser utility combined with sth a la Guake terminal) or edit, and it gets sent here automagically.

Some data mining could also be interesting. Creation of categories vs addition of pages/links, generally analyzing category sizes (keeping in mind that I'm the one semantically defining the categories, which means "there more pages in category X than in category Y" doesn't work; also the more interesting an area is, in more categories I'm likely to divide it), time of addition => time when I'm most likely to procrastinate, etc etc etc
