Developing a systematic way to track generally useful info.

CONTENTS: Overview | To Do

I don't need Gossamer links. I can do it in Xiki. And combine features of wikipedia and tagging too. And absorb the Bits web.

Go to old Linx web. Go to new Lenk web.

Overview

• Topics could be used to fake the hierarchy, eg [(Software) Graphics]
  • But an explicit hierarchy is too constraining.
  • Just use wikipedia's notion of general pages used to point to more specific ones.
• multicolumn can be used to create tables of subtopics.
• Items can be built with a definition list.
  • An item can have any length description.
• Pages may include actual discourse and not just a list of links.

To Do

• Transcribe content of Linx Web webs into Lenk Web.
  • Done Science and technology.
• Remove Linx webs.
• Create a plugin to modify searching to display items reasonably.
  • See Dev precis
  • When searching for keywords, also search for pages named by keywords.
  • excerpt = all paragraphs containing keywords.
• Need a form-based way to add an item without necessarily editing the page.
