Given the breadth AND depth of experience being shared here, w/r/t both tech AND social engineering, i am encouraged to think that some viable solution(s) may well emerge for Cedric, maybe even generalisable to other UseCases in other non-software related domains.
For example: i created this site- valedalama.github.io -some months ago as a proof of concept, to test a few propositions: 1. Can i put a site online that will serve a subset of content selected for push from my TiddlyDesktop PIM, with the additional benefits of: 2. Affordances for collaborative design/ discussion/ documentation; 3. Version control & history; 4. Industrial-grade hosting service, with good performance & backup; and 5. Free & Open Source Software, from bottom to top. What i got with this combo of TW + Github.io ticks all the boxes in principle, but in practice... I would have to say that, while requirements 3, 4 and 5 are passed with flying colours, req (1) involves a bit of clunky workflow that i could probably automate away -and would do, if i could only engage some players on my team to make this a win on point (2) as well, but sadly this has not happened. I've given colleagues the option to either (a) use Github affordances for issue-tracking and/or discussion; (b) edit individual tiddlers to merge via pull-request, or else (c) just download index.html, edit in your browser and email back to me, but it seems these are all a step too far to ask. Of course: this little proof-of-concept doesn't yet hold a lot of USEFUL content (maybe your situation as well, @finn?)... and it IS perhaps too much to ask of people who work primarily in the field and not online. Yet they do seem to love their Google Docs, so... go figure! Still, i have to wonder: given the hooks of which PMario speaks, which Finn seems to be using to some extent, surely there must be other TW sites out there in Github.io and/or GitLab land that we might look to for some insight -yes? /walt On Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 3:54:28 PM UTC PMario wrote: > On Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 2:28:54 PM UTC+1 work.ced...@gmail.com > wrote: > > I am interested in the git synchronisation and the different >> aforementioned plugins and approaches.
