			During my first year I wrote more and more diversly (even if it wasn't on the wiki), I started writing code more often, accompanied by some small dev logs for some projects I did, trying to grasp the starting point and the new discoveries I made during the process. Another example is documentation of projects overall, something I never really did or considered before starting the master and finally some very small ideas, generally no longer that 4 lines that could be used for making prototypes (later during the year, we were introduced to [[Methods xpub\|PMoMMs]]).

If you cannot think of keywords for something you are looking for, try checking out the different existing categories, pages can be grouped by using them. Search for "Special:Categories" in the search bar.

			Since I started xpub I realized I have not written much on the wiki, the reason is mostly the visual element (the form) of the writings + the almost impossible to read editor for the source of the pages.

			I do like writing though, so during my xpub 1.5 summer I am making an effort to win this block over.

			This is an amazing space to have, and I wish to keep it beyond my graduation, though if I want to keep it alive and maintain it, first it needs to have something to organize / take care of.
