Part of the reason that tiddlers aren't documented is that mGSD is just a specific type of TiddlyWiki. If you go to http://tiddlywiki.org, there are better explanations of TW and tiddlers.
Basically a Tiddler is just a data object with a title, text content, and a list of tags. The text content can be text with some rudimentary wiki formatting, or it can be Javascript. If a tiddler has certain tags, then mGSD may do special things when displaying it. Like if a tiddler has "Project" among its tags, then some JavaScript from the TagDashboards tiddler is used to display actions, ticklers, and references tagged with that project, and the TitleButtons tiddler is used to display the controls right above that. You can look at all the tiddlers and their JavaScript source right in a TW. However one thing that makes it harder is that most of the built-in tiddlers have the excludeSearch tag, so they don't show up in searches. If you go to the sidebar --> More... --> TW --> All, then ALL the tiddlers are listed there and you can search that with your Browser's search function. It still can take some guesswork to find the tiddlers you want, so you're right that we should all pitch in and keep adding documentation. You can also view the page source in your Browser and search that and especially since you are an "old Java geezer" who is comfortable with Linux, it's not going to be that hard to explore that a bit. I don't even know Java or javascript and I was able to make the customizations that were most important to me. If you do customize, make sure to document your work, since it will likely be wiped out in an upgrade (until you write the customization that fixes that and share it with us!!!) I haven't really cracked the sequence nut, except with the big pending/queued customization I already told you about. For me, mGSD is really a "rememberance agent" so I can clear my mind of stuff outside my current tasks. However I don't really forget about the sequences, so it's not that important to me to let this agent take care of remembering sequences. If I finish all the Next Actions in my active projects, I just cruise the list of Pending Actions, and it's easy for me to see which ones should be promoted to Next. I'm not saying other people wouldn't need that but given the nature of my work and my mind, that's not an important feature for me. What I am considering working on is Recurring Projects. I added a "Recurring" checkbox which was simple enough, but what I would like to do is add a built-in tickler for them to be reawakened, and also to make sure all of their Completed actions can't be purged but instead are de-completed when a recurring Project is made active again. Unfortunately this project is marked "Future" in my mGSD. Welcome aboard! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group.
