Ilya's idea looks complementary to TW farm approach ( https://protw.github.io/twfarm/). Every wiki of a wiki-farm collection can be presented as external read-only JSON file in the central wiki (catalog or directory). Every wiki must have a single typical tiddler with fields containing information necessary for identification and web-location of each wiki.
Of course the central wiki (directory) needs a plugin for reading, searching and revealing structured information from those external JSON files. IMHO BobEXE suits very well for this role. вівторок, 4 лютого 2020 р. 05:26:38 UTC+2 користувач ILYA написав: > > # Another approach > > Every wiki would have tiddlers.json.
