Hi all,

Why am I cursed with so many ideas, but so little time and knowhow to 
implement them? I am just going to throw this out there. If anyone thinks 
it is worthwhile to create this, go for it. Not for me, just if you think 
it is genuinely helpful.

Part 1: a content creator adds tiddlers, and tags them by topic, and tags 
them by format (advice, reflection questions, links, definitions, etc). The 
Gen Tags plugin (https://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/GenericTagFields/) 
might be a good tool for helping the content creator distinguish types of 
tags. Or maybe there is a better tool for that.

Part 2: The end user has a control panel to filter by topic, by format, or 
both: 

a) filtering by both and clicking a button produces a tiddler, e.g. 
"Reflection questions on botany" and the text field shows the text fields 
of all tiddlers tagged by the tag "Reflection questions" and the tag 
"Botany".

b) Filtering only by topic produces a tiddler that lists the text field of 
all the tiddlers tagged by that topic, but grouped by format. ("Entries on 
Botany, organized by format") Filtering only by format does the opposite, 
all the tiddlers with that format, grouped by topic ("Reflection questions, 
organized by topic") 

There are, obviously, more uses for this than just "topic and format". 
"Topic and source (book)" comes to mind, "Recipes by main ingredient and 
meal type", "Restaurants by location and category", now I am hungry, Songs 
by artist and some other criteria, etc.

There is a tool called Xlists, which crosses categories, and hints at what 
I am getting at, but I am thinking of something that makes it easier for 
both creators and users to quickly view results from combining two types of 
tags. 

Anyway, that is my idea for the morning. I think it would be a very 
valuable addition to the TiddlyWiki repertoire. If you do too, and know how 
to create it, please consider it.

Blessings.
