I am actually just drafting up a list of stuff I may want to look into in 2015. Here are my pain points:

Threat Modelling Tools - Even the best ones are glorified drawing tools. I am unaware of anything at the moment which can track data as it passes through multiple systems (e.g. user enters in name, name propagates to internal server A during call y etc.) - any tool has to have an offline option for obvious reasons.

I will second the fragmented conversation issue. I will add email/messenger and face-to-face to the mix. e.g. If I ask someone a question in email and they answer me when we bump into each other on a coffee run then I want to record this information somewhere - best I have so far is a physical notepad combined with a text editor - which still means a lot of copying from one place to the other.

On that same front, knowledge capture. Once I have the answer to that question I don't want to lose it - but I may want to forget it, but I also want to be able to remember I know it :) - Wikis work somewhat for this, but mostly lack searchability because everyone, including myself, is lazy and linking to things is hard.

So do you yourself currently use Wikis for knowledge capture or do you do it in a different way?
Initially I capture it in a notebook/text editor. Then I go through an editing process and then use Wikis to capture an edited condensed version.
