Hello all,

I am new to this community and not a native english writer, but
nevertheless I want to try and share my findings with Tiddlywiki, and
to ask a question.
I stumbled upon Tiddlywiki some weeks ago, looking for a nice way to
share content between my home-pc (Linux), my pc at work (Window$) and
my smartphone (Nokia 5800). Because internet on the smartphone is not
allways available I wanted something working offline. So this is where
Tiddlywiki would come in perfect. I very much like the possibilities
in special Tiddlywikis like TiddlyFolio, TWAD and MonkeyGTD. Problem
is however that the browser on the phone doesn't allow saving the
Tiddlywiki file. And I want to be able to edit the content on the
phone.
So I started to look at the serverside options.
First I tried TiddlySpot (with the uploadplugin). That wooldn't work
for me because before the upload the Tiddly needs to be locally saved
(and the smartphone doesn't do that).
Then I tried to get ccTiddly going, but after some days of trial and
error and diving in all the documentation i could find, i did not
manage to get it working.
I looked at TiddlyWeb, but the problem there is that my
hostingprovider doesn't support Python, only PHP and Perl.
Then I gave MiniTiddlyServer a try, allthough the homebase URL for
that project is no longer working and there there is very little
information to be found. The package I retrieved from Tiddlywiki's svn
repository. And surprisingly easy it came to life. I can now edit my
Tiddlys online and use the data offline on my phone.
Next I wanted to use TiddlySnip from within Firefox to save snips on
my online Tiddly. TiddlySnip allso seems to be abandoned, but some
people have made some last changes and one was the option to save to
MiniTiddlyServer. But there was no clear documentation on how to put
in the right settings. It took me some days of diving into the
sourcecode of TiddlySnip but finally I figured it out, and now I have
this working as well.
So after this long story I will come to my question for this
community. I am now so very enthusiastic about all that I have
achieved that I would like to contribute to Tiddlywiki. I am not very
good in programming Javascript or PHP but I can read and understand
someones else's code most of the time. Perhaps I could adopt the
abandoned projects MiniTiddlyServer and TiddlySnip and host a demo,
download and how-to-install on my hosted domain. That way others can
benefit from my knowledge and Tiddlywiki can become popular on
smartphones from now on. Perhaps someone can react on this or maybe
some of the original contributers on TiddlySnip or MiniTiddlyServer
would like to say something on this.
Greetz, Dirk
