Digital Gardening for Non-Technical Folks dctr.pro/2li via @johnjohnston
@adamprocter I don’t fully understand the hype about “digital gardens” (solo wikis?), but I know @jasraj & @chrisaldrich both into it
@w4rner I think it’s just a new way of talking about working openly so I’m all for that 👍
@w4rner I just use it to describe my presence online (e.g. someone finds INF Club… then browsers deeper into my “garden” to find my micro blog). My own garden (INF club) needs tidying up a wee bit to make it more accessible (now & then the leaves need to be cut back & tidied up!)
@w4rner @adamproctor I love the phrase ‘digital garden’… it makes me think of a happy place to be slowly explored & discovered. ps. great writeup, Adam. Interesting to think we can each leave our own online imprint that’ll last beyond our lifetimes. Tools like Notion & Roam Research are making it easier to neatly ‘document’ things.
@jasraj I really rate the language of “tended to” for updating a living doc. I also think tagging “Evergreen” vs. “timely” is promising, though a lot of stuff is hard to know in advance.
I prefer manually adding update dates:
- to blog posts when I make an edit
- the year in a website’s ‘license’ (usually copyright) as a signal you’ve updated it that calendar year
