Online mind map? Instead of a linear structure maybe? http://lifehacker.com/5188833/hive-five-five-best-mind-mapping-applications

(??? Maybe a tex document is better than blog posts after all. Good blog posts might be too ambitious for this year, while a tex draft is something I could share with Magnus and a few others maybe. Then I could spend more energy on writing up publishable material instead. Would it otherwise be an option to somehow copy the scratchbook category as a HTML page and deposit it somewhere on my webpage? This would make for easy transfer of all the links. Or I could put the dictionary on the blog and the essays in a tex document. Hmm…. One could also imagine eventually launching the Cohomology Theory Handbook as an online collaborative project, as the Stacks project - maybe such a project could be finished if many people write. And/or one could imagine associating some public folder to each essay/dictionary/glossary entry. Then one could maybe also aim for a more complete bibliography for each entry, based on MathSciNet searches, and maybe linked to pdf files. In an ideal world this would be integrated with a new online literature database as described elsewhere. I could pay someone to do some of this work maybe, in order to set up a good baseline for future contributions. Yet another option is to write drafts of essays here in the scratchbook, with links to CT pages and Glossary, then save the page as a web archive and send it to Magnus or post it on my webpage. The advantage over tex would be easy links to the DB)

Ref: the Stacks project

One possibility is to use LaTeX hyperlinks link to local documents with a relative pathway, so that if I put the Rough Guide pdf in a folder in which I have another folder with all the fulltext documents, then clicking on a link in the pdf opens the document. Then I could share this folder with selected people maybe.

More thoughts: It seems like to much material will make this page slow. So as a first stage, I’ll write a quick outline here with links to all relevant CT and Glossary entries (which will be listed here when my indexing is “finished”). Then whenever I want to write up some better notes, I’ll move the material to a tex file in the Rough Guide. Try to leave notes whenever I move some material, and not keep two copies of the same thing anywhere.

The recurring problem is this:
