Wiki content

What do you put in a wiki? Whatever you want! It’s your wiki.

For me, I feel it’s a lot more than just a set of ‘facts’ that I’ve discovered about my particular interests. It would then just be a really poorly maintained subset of Wikipedia. I think the point is to make sure not to lose the personal and the [[personality]]. (That which Wikipedia deliberately avoids).

Wisdom, not facts. We’re not just looking random pieces of information. What’s the point of that? Your commonplace book, over a lifetime (or even just several years), can accumulate a mass of true wisdom–that you can turn to in times of crisis, opportunity, depression or job.

– How and why to keep a commonplace book

I agree with that, except to de-emphasise wisdom a little. I don’t want to feel a pressure that what I put in here has to be wise. It’s a place for percolation. It might turn into wisdom eventually.
