Hi. I also thought of email when I was thinking about this problem recently. How do you get information from your email thread to the wiki? And is this a github wiki?


Email is my todo/inbox. Its disposable. Wiki is gitlab wiki. It is my index for the information I've collected.

I do not move too much information from email to wiki. I'm quite mindful of it actually. Wiki gets written and re-written, cross linked and edited. I keep it consistent. Helps quick lookups. I very frequently use markdown files in topic specific directories. Helps store information gathered from deep dives on those topics. Markdown file names are also consistent - YYMMDD-topic-detail.md. Helps sorting by date.

I use the wiki mostly for the free hosting and the links. I could very well use a static site generator when there's enough content in a topic's directory to be shared as a mini website. A link to the wiki on the home screen comes quite handy.
