Hi Mohammad, thanks that might be just what I have been looking for. My 
TiddlyWiki is over 20Mb and is a self learning+discovery tool as well as a 
knowledge base I have been looking for something like this, I will 
experiment with using it.

>From my view point a vote is a measure of usefulness - I might look at a 
previous vote on the current tiddler and think "that tiddler really was 
more useful than I previously thought I will rank it up a little more.

Additional areas of interest for me here are backlinks ( bi directional 
linking ) - the number of links to a particular tiddler might also be taken 
as another but different measure of popularity and usefulness. I would find 
it useful to have an extra tab on the results list that shows the number of 
backlinks to each tiddler. Even more useful might be to have both votes and 
backlinks on the same tab in two different columns that can both be used to 
order the list. That way it would be possible to ask questions like why are 
some high vote tiddlers low in the backlinks column - is that because the 
tiddler is very useful but also very new and so has not yet been fully 
integrated in the the web of the knowledge base - perhaps time to 
investigate why this is the case. Or perhaps a tiddler has a low vote but a 
large number of backlinks - perhaps this reflects older knowledge that is 
now contradicted by new evidence?

My experience of my own tiddlywiki is that the connections between items of 
our knowledge and thinking are sometimes just as interesting as the 
knowledge itself but it is difficult to visualise our mental maps in the 
way we might choose.
I have also been experimenting with TiddlyMap but whilst the maps are 
amazing to look at I have found due to the large size of my wiki it is 
difficult to extract the kind of impressions I want from the map, so I 
became interested in a simpler representation - ranked lists.

Another thought is how to combat "vote" inflation - if the common reaction 
is only to upvote the current candidate in the light of it's usefulness in 
the present moment we may end up awarding it more votes than a tiddler we 
have not seen for a while that is actually more useful. Judges in sports 
always face the problem if they award a perfect 10 - they have nowhere left 
to go if someone better comes along next.  One approach is to always be 
prepared to down vote a tiddler as well as to upvote it. Another is an 
ageing system where the awarded votes decay with time - for instance if all 
the votes are added together then each vote might be seen as a percentage 
of the total vote - the total vote can then be scaled by say 0.95 when 
someone presses the "rescale" button and then each tiddler is awarded a new 
vote which is calculated by multiplying it's share percentage by the 
adjusted total vote. Tiddlers that have been recently upvoted are given 
vote "juice" that has not yet been degraded by the time decay. It's 
probably overly complicated but it is useful I think to decide either as a 
code writer or a user how vote inflation might be dealt with?

Anyway time to play with your plugin.
Thanks a lot Jon
