Knowledge Sharing¶
Philosophy: Document once, reference forever
Overview¶
Effective knowledge sharing prevents information silos, speeds up onboarding, and ensures continuity. This directory contains templates for organizing and sharing team knowledge.
Files in This Directory¶
- wiki_structure.md - How to organize team wiki
- adr_template.md - Architecture Decision Record format
- troubleshooting_template.md - Problem documentation
- meeting_notes_template.md - Meeting documentation
Key Principles¶
- Document decisions - Future you will thank you
- Keep it current - Outdated docs worse than no docs
- Make it searchable - Use clear titles and keywords
- Link liberally - Connect related information
- Examples over theory - Show, don't just tell

|---|---|---|
| Architecture decisions | ADR in Git | "Why we chose C++17" |
| How-to guides | Wiki | "How to add a new parameter" |
| Troubleshooting | Wiki | "Fixing audio glitches" |
