* Wikis are the true Internet. Accept no substitutes. Thank you to Ward and everyone who had enough faith in humanity to let us help each other out. – [[User:Mxn|Mxn]] ([[User talk:Mxn|talk]]) 00:09, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

* Thank you for being, wiki. My friends at http://monochrom.at heard of wikis first in about 2001 and we hosted one to collaboratively design a card game. Once down the rabbit hole, the possibilities were endless. I combined wikis with the semantic web and desktops and started coding personal semantic wikis in 2003 and the semantic desktop, resulting in nepomuk.kde.org 2009. I and others failed to keep this alive, which left a hole. Others did fantastic things with petsonal wikis, like http://www.plomlompom.de/PlomWiki/plomwiki.php . In a wiki, words become pages, sentences connections. Retrieval of knowledge feels more like walking, navigating. An externalized companion to the associative thinking some humans enjoy. A "Denkwerkzeug". I believe the combination of knowlege graps (semantic web/schema.org/rdf/sparql,...) and wikis enabled me connecting my own thoughts with yours. Do you?
