Perhaps I can share with you my approach With the help of judicious backups I tend to live my life in a single tiddlywiki which I have built a piece at a time. With Tasks list and contact info I have slowly evolved it into something greater.
Like the Computer metaphor "Booting", I lift my self up by my bootstraps. Each time I need to develop a new feature I just add it if the need demands. Sure a couple of times I have had to revert to a previous version or disable all plugins progressively until I identify the problem one. I am also very aware of all the tools for developing multiple tiddlyWiki systems using external tiddlersplugin, import/export, though I have not needed to split it yet. Using optimisation techniques and now the latest firefox the speed is adequate to support a 7MB file. See http://www.giffmex.org/twfortherestofus.html for Tips for speeding up performance on large TiddlyWikis I am very happy. Some hints, if there is no compelling reason to link say recipes to your to do list create a separate tiddlyWiki also always use good tagging practices and if you need to export/import a pile of tiddlers to a new tiddlywiki then it is easy. So keep it simple and evolve your wki into what you want it to be. Step at a time. Regards Tony TonyM If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something. www.tiddlywiki.com On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 07:42, DaveP <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi again Alan, > > You are quite right in what you say about the TW community in that > they are very willing to help newcomers and the help is appreciated, > yourself included. > > In fact they are so helpful providing info my head is a veritable wash > with new sources, tips and references that it is fairly swimming so > much it is hard to concentrate one thing at a time actually. > > Being still new it is going to take me some time to digest 'this > helping' yet once again and it is appreciated. > > Only hope that i can repay and pass on the favour by helping another > in return one day. > > Thnx > > /br > > Dave > > On Aug 2, 10:48 pm, AlanBCohen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi again Dave, > > Both of these plugins (with documentation) are available at TWHelp > > (http://tiddlyspot.com/twhelp/), an excellent site for newcomers (a > > version from last year was imported to the intranet at work, so I have > > access to it there).
