Welcome to SkyrienWiki! This wiki represents my online knowledge base--offloaded mental RAM if you will. Here I will metacognate upon thoughts and ideas, and provide a space for open discussion of them. Development over time is also a key component; I expect to maintain this wiki for the duration of my lifetime. This wiki will serve three main functions:

  1. Online directory and reference for all public components of skyrien.com
  2. Presentation and discussion of my personal worldview and experiences
  3. Flatter representation of and repository for my blog

I imagine one day, it will have lots of content, but for now, it's just a few pages. The internet allows for such vast scales of collaboration, discussion/debate, and connection. Wiki's are also excellent are presenting a variety of topics linked to each other.

Future Content

I've been brainstorming various purposes for a personal wiki, but haven't yet decided on what content to start with. I want to start an open 3d printed content repository site, to counter the censorship imposed by existing entities today. Perhaps MediaWiki would be a viable platform for that.

Launch

A while back, I realized that I had accumulated a vast array of information throughout life, scattered in various locations (papers, apps, memories, textbooks, articles, internet tidbits, etc...), and found it often difficult to recall the exact piece of information when I wanted it. Thanks to the digital era, much of my mind has been "outsourced" to media such as OneNote, Evernote, MindMeister, and other tools, but ultimately, these were internal, transient representations of my thoughts. Good for me, but how can it be made more useful?

Well, we all know that good can come of the internet and open-source culture, so, with high hopes for "something interesting", on July 10th, 2015, I started Skyrien Wiki, as a personal epistemological experiment. I've never self-hosted a wiki before (Sharepoint, yes; self-hosted MediaWiki, no), so I figured it's time to. But alas, with so much great information in the world, what can I offer here? This being the internet, I think it's time to experiment.

This is not meant to compete with any general knowledge wiki, such as Wikipedia, which represents some of the best of what the internet can be, but rather, it's a personal wiki, a playground of ideas. I imagine, it will consist of content of my own ideas and writing.

Perhaps in the future, editing will be made public... when the internet proves ready...
