  • Fernando BorrettiThe Design Space of Wikis

    This post describes the design space of wikis. Sections are axes in the design space: they correspond to design questions. Subsections are intervals along that axis: they correspond to answers to those questions. Sections titled “mixin” are design choices that can be applied to multiple volumes in design space.

    The axes are not entirely orthogonal. A completely orthogonal reframing is a challenge for the reader.

    “Wiki” here is used as a shorthard for the broad category of application with names like wiki, note-taking app, tool for thought, zettelkasten etc.
