Lin, I build for purpose wikis and I know which to use for which purpose. I have done a lot of design effort, few have yet seen, because I am building platform tools rather than specific functional wikis, however I am soon to get the economies of scale and you will start seeing solutions/editions from me as well as developer and UI tools.
I have a massive resource library. So I have already learned dozens of inter wiki solutions, that someone else may be forced to address if they push too much into one tiddlywiki. However like mobile apps, it is easy proliferate for purpose wikis and build a logical layer on top to manage anything. Limited for purpose wikis, or larger consolidated wikis each have their place. I basically package components for distribution as needed, use custom editions if needed and I have started data manipulation which I am building another set of generic tools for. Mario's bundler plugin, Mohamad's utility Wikis and plugin libraries. Mohammads Searchwikis plugin uses index (dataTiddler) to search multiple external Tiddlywikis. It has two parts 1. An indexer, to build an index of all tiddlers in an external wiki 2. A search tool to search indexes and display a link to a tiddler found in an external wiki I build ways to register and transfer project made up of multiple tiddler and indexes of wikis and their functions. With TiddlyWiki there are few if any limits. Regards Tones On Friday, 23 October 2020 01:54:41 UTC+11, Lin Onetwo wrote: > > > > Hi, Tony and Tones, > > Why multiple wikis?
