Jan,
I just had a look at etherpad, and reminds me of document part the now
defunct Google Wave, but various google and Microsoft products have similar
editing opportunities.
I see why you value having a iframe to access such documents. In addition
to multi-user documents it gives rise to a WYSIWYG editor.
Always wishing to extend the functionality within tiddlywiki, I can see how
this may be away to address some of out multi-user issues with tiddlywiki.
Given it is an open source environment, and tiddlywiki is too, perhaps this
is an opportunity to bring the two projects together. Either read only or
read/write tiddlywikis could delegate shared documents to etherpad as a
special kind of tiddler, but tiddlywiki is in an ideal position to manage
the multiple document view into multiple etherpad documents.
Much of this may already be the case with the iframe solution you are
working on, so thanks for raising it here. But I think a little deeper
integration would help both projects.
What may deeper integration look like?
- Create a new etherpad document from within a special tiddler
- Seed it with the content of the tiddler before conversion
- Be able to use the wiki to manage/wrap multiple etherpads
- Includes searchable and other features
- Be able to import.export cut/copy and paste between etherpad and
tiddlers
- Include drag and drop and handle conversions if needed.
- Perhaps the etherpad client component can be made a plugin in
tiddlywiki
- and the etherpad server component deployed with the tiddlywiki node
server install
If the technology or the etherpad community is not open to this valuable
contribution, perhaps the tiddlywiki community could build a method for
collaborative and external tiddler by tiddler server. Kind of taking the
external tiddler model further. If we took this path we may be able to
designer even tighter integration to the extent that once implemented
interactive "shared" tiddlers could become a feature.
just thinking.
Regards
Tones
