Re: [tw] Re: 50 years ago today the word “hypertext” was introduced

Steve,

"My thinking is that Tiddlywiki comes as close to Nelson's vision of
hypertext as any other application I've used" - sounds like the start of a
paper (didn't you post something about a hypertext conference a short while
ago)

I wrote a paper for a conference in which I sketched out a design for a
tool for place management (using TiddlyWiki of course).
I struggled with justifying the choice of TiddlyWiki, I ended up going up a
level of abstraction, saying that hypertext is the most obvious way of
dealing with communicating complexity. I don't think I quite managed to
make an argument that TW is more suitable for hypertext writing than other
hypertext authoring tools.

In the forthcoming year, I hope to build and trail the tool in a live
project, I was wondering if i could turn it into a case study for a
hypertext conference as well as a place management conference.

Something about making the case that hypertext literacy skills are a key to
understanding and communicating complex ideas, and that personal hypertext
authorship is the first step.

I wonder if we could have some kind of discussion about this, maybe on the
next hangout?

best wishes


Alex

I note some striking similarities.
