2003-05-11 - Ward's Take on WikiBlogs
I was talking to WardCunningham the other day at the first MossGathering. We were talking about blogs and wiki's and he was saying that what he wanted to see was a blog which commented on the refactoring process of a wiki. This would probably only work well on a wiki that's quite busy (MeatBall or WikiWiki) but it's a neat idea. It's also how I've been trying to use this blog on spack.org, the actual information goes into the wiki, the commentary on the information goes here.
It seems to work well so far, I get the satisfaction of first person writing (which wiki's don't provide very well), yet I still get to build my personal knowledgebase. I'm also hopeful that BackLinks from wiki pages to blog pages will provide interesting/useful context later on. We'll see how it progresses.
