Scott, I have not developed any historical tiddlywiki's but I have spent a lot of time in personal organisers. From this I have a set of key methods I use. I will dump a few here which we can explore further.
- Yes, set dates in custom date fields and have at least start and end dates, - Keep created and Modified to mean what they mean, created the tiddler and modified the tiddler - this is useful information don't compromise your future by changing their meaning - if both dates are the same consider it a mile stone - If their is not end date then it marks a new era that has note close - If it has no start date we are not sure when it started - Add another date field perhaps for recognised dates - You could use a plugin like http://kixam.github.io/TW5-datePicker/ however more for this century (needs moment.js plugin as well see notes) - Allow dates to be entered manually as well as selected from the list - Keep as many dates as possible compatible with tiddlywiki's date serial number, even f you zero fill the rest of the serial number - This allows you to continue to use operators and sort etc.. - There is at least one visual timeline tool eg http://emkayonline.github.io/tw5visjs/ - A lot of the people pursuing genealogical tiddlywiki's need dates and some very old dates so maps to historical records. If you are taking records that become history there are more tricks Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
