PKM
Wikipedia already has many articles that can be assigned to the topic of Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). Some key articles already exist — such as Personal knowledge management, Zettelkasten, Information literacy — but are often incomplete, methodologically outdated, or insufficiently sourced. By contrast, other relevant concepts, approaches, and related topics are missing entirely.
Today I created the WikiProject Personal Knowledge Management to systematically close these gaps, together with other interested contributors.
The project coordinates work on existing and new articles in the following areas:
The project inventory includes core articles and so-called stubs — along with working notes on relevance and specific areas for improvement. The goal is to revise existing articles and those yet to be identified, rewrite others where needed, and translate articles from other language versions where appropriate.
The project is currently in its early stages. Anyone who researches, teaches, or is simply interested in the field and has some experience editing Wikipedia is warmly invited: contributions of any kind are welcome — a citation, a paragraph, a new article. If you are interested, feel free to reach out by email.
