Hello Group,

I am so excited to jump in to the world of TW.  I came across it just
a week ago, and have already had several "light bulb" moments for
things that I want to pursue with TW as a tool.

For one such item, I would like to get some general design guidance.
As I'm not a very proficient programmer, I would like to describe the
problem, and get advice on how best to approach it.  Then I will
describe what I've done so far, and maybe I've gotten close and folks
can just tweak it a bit.  Thank you so much in advance for all of your
great help.  This google group is by far the most helpful community I
have ever seen.

I am trying to create a TW site for preparing technical specification
documents.  Each document could have 20+ sections (but not always the
same sections).  I would like to start out with a standard document,
and then make copies of each section as needed so I can edit it for a
project without changing the standard set.  I would also like the
ability to attach comments (separate from the edited section) that are
searchable/accessible anytime I look at the "standard" section.  Hope
this makes sense.

Here is what I have tried already.  I have created a new tiddler for
each standard section and tagged it StandardSection.  I have used
Eric's copyTiddler for each of these sections, tagged it back to the
standard section tiddler and tagged it to a compile tiddler for the
document using matchTags.  So, using TagglyTagging, I can go to a
standard section and see a list of project specific sections that
relate to the standard, and comments related to those project specific
sections.

So, the question is, do you think this is a good approach?  Is there
anything that would be better from a design perspective?  Also, one of
the key features to make this work will be developing an easy way to
copy and tag sections for a new document.  I have used ToggleTag to
apply a new tag, but is there a way to have a list of tiddlers by one
tag, and select an option box and copy all of those tiddlers and tag
the new one?

Thank you again.
