[Ana_R] [tantek] I'm in the process of expanding my "about me" page to include previous talks (especially because i would like to get back into it). I never wrote any books but I do include in mine links to external articles.

[tantek] [Ana_R] I think an /about page is a fine place to start sections for that kind of thing. Imagine that a section grows a lot over time though, do you keep it ever-expanding on /about, or do you create a separate page for it? and when?

capjamesg [tantek] How should I refer to documents in a website-wide index?
#
capjamesg URLs are unwieldy. Post titles are, too.
#
[tantek] capjamesg, you mean instead of page numbers as one would in an Index in a book?
#
capjamesg Yep.
#
[tantek] I like this question. It overlaps with other design questions/considerations I've had, and introduces more interesting constraints.
#
[tantek] I might fork some of this into #indieweb-dev because it quickly gets into "how do I implement"
#
capjamesg ++
#
capjamesg Context: I have an index.
#
[tantek] nice

capjamesg > Traditional wiki links are CamelCase LikeThis, creating automatic links to pages (which may or may not exist). This is a wonderfully low-friction linking method, but it does have obvious limitations and I wonder if it might actually be a bit too easy?
#
capjamesg [tantek] is that why wiki links exist in camel case?

#
[tantek] capjamesg, I believe the origins are with the first wiki, see: http://wiki.c2.com/?JoinCapitalizedWords
