Fiamma (PKM and links wiki)

Knowledge/Links Database

This Wiki here is just for testing purposes, pre-pre-pre-alpha. I'd love to use it as my next bookmarking service, since Delicious is practically dead, and I haven't found any free similar alternatives.

I have been inspired by http://www.fsavard.com/flow/2008/11/using-a-personal-wiki-for-bookmark-organization/. The idea of using a wiki for bookmark organization is wonderful, especially seeing how cluttered my current ersatz "Links" page on http://pchr8.net/ is. Plus I love the "control the data yourself" flavour of it.

Lastly, it allows me to use multiple axes for organization. Later I will think of a more formal architecture for the links.

You can see the last created pages on Special:Newestpages

Currently, this wiki will be divided into the following very broad areas:

• IT - Linux, Programming, Infosec, ...
• Resources - Sites which I might find continually useful, references
  • Reference - References
    • Constant reference - References I'll be using more often than others.
  • Books
• People - Psychology, stories, history, ...
  • Psychology
    • Category:Thinking
    • Category:Learning
    • Category:Motivation
    • Category:Mindset
    • Melancholy
• 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
• Travel - everything I find important about (low-budget) travel.
• Meta - Things dedicated to 'this' wiki

Additionally:

• Dump - Things which need to be sorted in relevant categories or otherwise reworked
• Personal - Things relevant me, my projects, configs, ...
  • My projects - Things relevant to my own projects.
• Good - Big nice pages with lots of useful info.
• Uni
• Taxonomy - meta-category about ways to organize things (List of examples, ...)
• To read - for when I'm bored.
• Visual - Visual medium, when I want to specify.

Searching details how the pages can be searched. "Big" and potentially more useful pages are in Category:Good.

Every page will be tagged, since a lot of the categories overlap.

Categories can contain other categories.

In every individual page, if it links to an outside resource I find interesting, I will try to make 10 key points or to paste in the most important paragraphs, so more of it will stay in my mind.

We'll see how this goes.
