Folks, Join our Collaborative Project -* Words*
Recent collaborative discussions and illustrated some interesting methods and challenges for our community. Words and Numbers. I thought I would initiate a couple to stimulate activity from the community, join in and contribute if you can otherwise lurkers are fine. *AIM: *Develop and improve the ability for people to interrogate large word lists with TiddlyWiki *Inspiration: *Whatever your language as a rule you most likely use a maximum of a 2,000 to 45,000 word vocabulary, yet word lists are freely available with more. By importing them into tiddlywiki is becomes possible for you to interrogate these words in a number of ways and for a number of reasons; - Help you practice fo Scrabble, make or do crossword puzzles - Make a Wiki based game of [[Boggle|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boggle]] (buy the game to pay for the intellectual property) - Learn a language by searching for base, root, prefix suffix and more - Build a cryptography language (for fun) - Perhaps special lists geometrical shapes, chemical or biological names - Build a set of data sources we can share in out community already prepared for use in TiddlyWiki - Just enjoy the love of language Large lists present possible performance issues, but as demonstrated recently 66,000 words are feasible and I expect even larger numbers with the right design. Word lists can be in a single data tiddler you interrogate or a single tiddler once you wish to add information to a given word. Canned search strings that may interest people would also be fun, like all english words prefixed or containing polly. *Where do we start?* - Where do we source some good word lists? are they maintained - How do we best import them? - Create a custom search that first looks for tiddlers then looks in a data tiddler - Provide an easy to use Regex or other wild card search with guidance Lets get started Logophiles. *A person who is a lover of words. <https://steemit.com/philes/@mike50/25-philes-and-what-they-mean-which-philes-describes-you>* How many philes are there? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
