Love this. I recently started a collection of notes all named "learned-from-X", which is the compilation of all the small things I learned (essentially knowledge obtained from a google search) while working on projects.

I am a believer in focusing on a problem you want to solve and learning as you go. However, to cement what you learn and to have a higher level understanding, reviewing what you've learned is a good idea.

It would be cool to have tools that would take web browsing and incorporate it into the source control history of the code, probably best presented as a wiki. Make it work for the whole team at once and it should be an easy sell, even if it did wind up being just the portion of StackOverflow that was actually useful!

Not entirely what you want but in my (admittedly limited) experience, this one came the closest:

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/mylyn

Older versions allowed you to save your task-focused state and reopen the same IDE state when reopening the problem. It could even save to your task manager.
