[tw5] TiddlyWiki Community Call and File Uploads Plugin

2021-07-22 Thread Saq Imtiaz 


We will be having a *TiddlyWiki Community call* with Jeremy, Boris and 
myself on August 17th at 6pm CET: TiddlyWiki Community: Core Savers & 
Syncers, Upload Plugin, & Community Forum - Zoom 

I hope some of you will be able to join us for what I think will be a very 
interesting discussion. Please register for the event at the link above.

The call will include:

   - a progress update on my work on the *Uploads plugin* funded by Open 
   Collective
   - a summary of some rather exciting and promising avenues for core 
   development in the areas of *Savers and Syncers* that has come out of 
   discussions around the Uploads plugin
   - an update on the *Open Collective* model for funding TiddlyWiki work 
   and what we have learned from it thus far
   - some news from Jeremy and Boris regarding improvements to TiddlyWiki 
*community 
   infrastructure*.

I have been slowly working away on the TiddlyWiki file uploads plugin as 
was previously announced 
. The 
majority of the work thus far has consisted of brainstorming around the 
architecture and some very involved but promising and productive 
discussions with Jeremy around how such a plugin would integrate with the 
core, and the direction that the core might take in the future with regards 
to saving and syncing mechanisms. 

In particular we have identified some exciting opportunities to explore in 
due course for a rethinking of the saver and syncer mechanisms that may 
amongst other things eventually make file uploads a core TiddlyWiki ability 
alongside saving and syncing and static file publishing.

This has necessitated a change in approach to the File Uploads plugin so as 
to not introduce changes to the TiddlyWiki core at this time which may 
clash with the long term direction of development, and still make the 
Uploads plugin available in a timely manner for those that need this 
functionality today. I currently have a minimal working prototype that 
uploads images imported into TiddlyWiki to Fission, though with no UI or 
error handling as of yet and desperately in need of some heavy refactoring 
to better be able to support different storage back ends. I hope to present 
a demo of an early version of the plugin on the call.

I would like to take the opportunity here to thank Boris and Fission. 
Despite Boris having chipped in for the vast majority of the funding for 
this plugin as it is something he needs in his own TiddlyWiki usage, not 
only has he been patient and supportive as we focus on long term core 
planning first, but Fission has actively been facilitating those 
discussions.

Regards,
Saq
