I do not know how the organization of any topic I talk about will ultimately be but I do know that I'd like what I write to read like a complete train of thought. However, there are issues with updating and dating ideas on the wiki. On the one hand it is nice to see a chronological ordering of ideas so that you can see how they evolve. On the other hand, it doesn't make for easy reading. Ultimately I think what I will end up doing is having a notebook that catalogs my ideas by date and then once the topic is complete (or satisfactory), I'll write up a specific page that incorporates every idea on the topic. Not only will this help my dissertation writing, but I think it's good practice to rewrite things again. We are monkeys after all and repetition is the best way to learn something very well in my opinion.
