For example, I think there's a spectrum of knowledge-base like solutions, but the middle of the spectrum is often poorly served:
- wikipedia: global, canonical reference material. Is very good, and we almost all use it in some fashion.
- confluence/notion/gh-wiki: team knowledge base. Often spotty, stale, neglected.
- logseq/obsidian/org-mode: personal knowledge base, notes. Typically very idiosyncratic, sketchy, but can work very well for the people who put effort into it.
What if a "federated wiki" was targeted at the team/personal level? I'm not saying this is Ibis in its present form, but imagine:
- You keep your personal notes and knowledge store, in a way which is always implicitly contextualized against corresponding info (or lack of info) in the team knowledge store.
- When you're noting something new, or modifying something, you always have an easy path to push your personal addition/edit to the shared store.
- Ideally notes from everyone's work around or interaction with some X drives low-effort maintenance of the community reference of X.
