Steve,
thanks for the blog post. I’ve experimented with wikis many moons ago but this is the first time it truly clicked for me how I might be able to use one. I’m starting to think that a wiki like CT might be really good for academic writing because it could help with becoming more disciplined with defining new concepts, as I could just create a new link/page for each new concept as I use it, and then return and develop/define those concepts in more detail later, rather than disrupting the flow. It might also help with managing the overall size of the writing, as I could see all the extra definitions I’ve created that would need to be fitted into the overall text. Also, sounds like superfluous chunks of text could easily be sunk into the background, without completely losing them. Would you agree?
