good day dear friends, ;)


i want ot create some kind of literature-list in GitHub wiki?
note: the post is a little vague, but that should suit most cases:

well - for a Little project i want to add a literature-list (comprehensive and big ) on github - how would you do this!?
here some musings about an approach: i guess that i could make a repo with a markdown file containing my list?

see a tiny example-list:;


Author; Title;Year;

Xiaonan Fan, Yuting Luo Value Co-Creation;A Literature Review; 2020;
Robert Mies, Jérémy Bonvoisin, Roland Jochem;Harnessing the Synergy Potential of Open Source Hardware Communities; 2019;
V Ramaswamy, K Ozcan;The co-creation paradigm; 2020;
T Redlich, M Moritz, JP Wulfsberg;Co-Creation Reshaping Business and Society in the Era of Bottom-up Economics;2019;
Barbara Bigliardi, Giovanna Ferraro, Serena Filippelli, Francesco Galati;The past, present and future of open Innovation;2021;
Jennifer Rodway, Stephen MacGregor, Mica Pollock, Megan Hopkins;A Network Case of Knowledge Brokering;2021;
Hertz Tilman, Bousquet François;Knowledge that affects: An assemblage Approach;2024;





and - in another form: like so


Code:

hmmm - i did some research - on the methods and ways to get a list (with approx 70 titles to the github-project-page: i found this here: It is nicely demonstrated in the Table of Contents of the Markdown Cheatsheet: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet

and that: How do I create some kind of table of content in GitHub wiki?

i look forward to hear from you.:)🤩

regards;)

You can definitely do this with a GitHub repo + Markdown.
Just create a new repo, add a README.md or multiple .md files if you want sections, and format your list using Markdown tables.
Example:
| Author | Title | Year |
|--------|-------|------|
| Xiaonan Fan, Yuting Luo | Value Co-Creation: A Literature Review | 2020 |
| Robert Mies, Jérémy Bonvoisin, Roland Jochem | Harnessing the Synergy Potential of Open Source Hardware Communities | 2019 |

If you want navigation, GitHub Wikis or a simple Markdown TOC generator like doctoc can help you build clickable links for each section.

This way anyone can fork, contribute, and keep the list updated collaboratively.
