Hi Mark, The idea is that data in off line questionaire TWs can then be collected somehow and analyzed when they come online or are uploaded. Mixing a wiki guide with monitoring questions in a single TW is my goal. The topic is the viable system model [1].
The user would submit the data tiddlers which could be then read and a table produced from their and their team mates TWs. You would end up with a table in a tiddler showing the scores of the other people; |Question| User | Value |Q1| UserA | 2 | |Q1| UserB 3 | |Q1| UserC | 10| You could then do searches, using forEachTiddler, and get the users who scored low on a particular question. You know like how rssReader can read feeds? i would like a tiddler with the data from question tiddlers to load into a tiddler in a similar way.

I have another guy who does drupal and knows a bit of python. The other project is a sharepoint one. I just don't think i am going to be able to get to gr ips with python, php, databases - the stuff you need to understand tiddlyweb and cc tiddly. 2009/2/18 Mark S. <[email protected]>: > > All "real" databases run counters for their ID fields.
