Ideally they would be heavily interlinked in a wiki fashon for easy navigation when referring to it int he future, but I haven't put much effort into that yet (well it's all in one file for now...). I was wondering if anyone uses org-mode for this kind of use, and would really be interested in reading how you maintain such a system. I'm especially interested in methods that relate to structuring and 'querying' the knowledge base, since it's of no use if information can't be found easily. regards, julien.
