Not necessarily TW specific, but has anyone written or have a good link to best practices to wiki organization?

Thanks

Scott,

You question makes me. Think of three others
1. Best practice for TiddlyWiki?  
2. Best practice for making a personal extension to your brain?
3. Are 'best practices' useful in this environment?

Richard Veryhard raises concerns about best practices : http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/%7Erxv/kmoi/bestpractice.htm

Some personal suggestions
1) don't over customise your TiddlyWiki - you can find that this takes over from your core activity, it's very addictive! 
2) that said, maybe it's a vital excercise for designing a personal extension to your brain
3) try to strike a balance when connecting. Don't over do it, don't under do it....  I think of 'requisite connectivity', and Asby's law of Requisite Variety
4) TiddlyWiki and 'tiddling' is a bit like a yoga for the mind. A one time I would be trying to wikify every meeting, every idea, every task, project and next action. I don't anymore, but I think my brain has been altered by the process. TiddlyWiki and the 'TiddlyWiki Way' is kind of in my brain now.
5)  I've settled on a large sketch book and particular type of pens as my primary ideas space. When meeting people or being in workshops, I've noticed that the computer or iPad adversely affects the personal communication and sends out signals which don't help me!

Best wishes

Alex

Alex,
Thanks for the link and the thoughts. I'm dipping my toe back into TiddlyWiki after a hiatus of a few months, doing a few minor updates to my code to make it compatible with with the latest 5.x version and then plan to just use it with out hacking on it too much.
We'll see how long that lasts :)

Scott
