Then there is Smallest Federated Wiki:

I like this quote in particular:
“If people don’t control their own infrastructure, they get needy,” he
says. They’re at the mercy of service providers who can disappear, impose
rules that constrain creativity and/or make it difficult to backup content
that you’ve created. “It’s good to simplify things, but they shouldn’t be
simplified in such a way as to make the user helpless.”

So a shared wiki does this.
As does Evernote or OneNote or google Keep.... And each of them have
benefits and limitations.
So the vast number of tools that try to replace scraps of paper is an
amazing collection, and yet we still keep trying to get it more
organized/better etc. There are whole conferences about this very issue of
collaborative information management.
Some people use Trello to track project data. Some people use github wikis.
Some use shared google docs. There are huge collaborative, management tools
with lots and lots of bells and whistles, which are also often complex and
brittle.
And there are very very very simple wiki-like things like
https://tiddlywiki.com/ tiddlywiki.
As people have been asking, you need to know who is writing, who is
reading, and what the constraints on that conversation are trying to make
progress on.
I find it much harder to get people to use a common tool than I do to set
up a tool. so this seems like a sociological problem instead of a software
selection problem.

There are multiple carriers of information on the internet.
Mailing lists and USENET groups stress timeliness.
Wikis by nature can be more in-depth but can suffer from edits from
edits
by anyone independent of qualifications.
I repeat my question. Is there an alternative to wikis.
The question is explicitly community and/or topic agnostic.
