Sudden epiphany:
| Wiki is like commenting your code! |
Good programmers take the time to annotate software as they develop it. Comments make a complex algorithm understandable and a data structure transparent.

Just so, time spent building a network of wiki pages is an investment in documenting the structures and relationships among ideas...
