Hi all, |
2 |
The wife has finally put her foot down and said I have to clean up the |
3 |
mess that inhabits my office which occupies our second bedroom. A big |
4 |
part of this mess is paper clipping from newspapers, magazines, trade |
5 |
shows, you name it, I've clipped it, kept it, but most importantly not |
6 |
filed it. This mess is nearly impossible to file in its current form so |
7 |
I set about thinking of a better way. |

A wiki is one of the first things to come to mind. I'm contemplating |
10 |
setting a wiki up on my trusty little firewall/email/squid/dns.... |
11 |
server, scanning the clipping, creating an entry in the wiki, placing, |
12 |
say, the first para of the clipping in the wiki page, maybe via OCR |
13 |
software, and then attaching the scanned image to the page. This way I |
14 |
can search the wiki looking for stuff, the first paragraph of the |
15 |
article will probably tell me if its the page I'm after and if so, look |
16 |
at the scanned image for the full article. |
17 |
|
18 |
Does this sound like a suitable use for a wiki or am I wasting my time |
19 |
and there are more "application specific" packages out there that would |
20 |
suit my needs better? Anyone done anything like this before? |
21 |
|
22 |
Any thoughts greatly appreciated, |
