What kind of knowledge traveler are you?
Summer mode ON, but your wiki style still says a lot about you.
We mapped documentation habits to travel types: from the page-digging Explorer to the Minimalist who loves a tidy structure.
Check, reflect, and maybe laugh a bit.
Tired of repeating the same HR info over and over?

How does your team really deal with messy docs?
Let’s be honest, outdated documentation sneaks up on everyone. But how we handle it says a lot about our processes (or lack thereof 
).
We built XWiki to make structured, sustainable documentation the norm — not the afterthought.
So, what’s your cleanup strategy?

“If you keep hundreds of ideas at your fingertips that you’ve collected over decades… you get an unbelievable amount of inspiration from just randomly looking at 25 of those ideas every now and again and thinking to yourself, is there a way they work together in a new and interesting way?”
