Using wikis
Bodmas writes about how to run a wiki on your own computer (i.e., (x)ubuntu). On using wikis non-collaboratively, he writes:
Wikis were designed to make collaboration easy, so why a private wiki? I use a wiki running on my desktop computer as a notebook for drafting out ideas, and for making rapid revisions to sets of pages. I also use my desktop wiki as a filing cabinet for odd scraps of information as all wiki engines feature a full text search.
Basically, that’s how we are using them in our class: for storing information and ideas and drafting out possible scenarios for our websites. What’s nice about using the wiki is it’s easy to use and you can see previous versions if you wish, thus never losing ideas.
