Hi Miguel >.., any comments?.. The MiniPedia, you mention in your article is in fact a TiddlyWiki with minor modifications.. Isn't TW a web02 application? John Robb wrote: "What is Web 2.0? It is a system that breaks with the old model of centralized Web sites and moves the power of the Web/ Internet to the desktop.
TiddlyWiki does exactly that - and better than any other "web- application" I know of... Hi Kolya >What I personally would put first when explaining TW is that it's a // single >user local note-keeping application//. >The "wiki" moniker is misleading in my opinion because most people expect a >collaborative online software a la Wikipedia. The MiniPedia, Miguel mentions in his article is in fact a TiddlyWiki with minor modifications.. If "the official site" should explain what TW actually is - and how it's used, (it actually does to some extent) it would be either a monstercatalog with hundreds of totally different usercases or tutorials showing how you can create webapplications for almost anything... Citation from the Danish Wikipedia about "Wiki": "Wiki culture is characterized by the fact that no two wiki clones are identical. It is often debated whether a page is a wiki or not. Some people use large resources to define and preserve the differences." Tiddlywiki is used as webpages/homepages/blogs/wikis/notebooks for math/framework for interactive storytelling - etc etc ... The use of wikisyntax and hyperlinks in a TiddlyWiki (the non-linearity) and the fact that it can be edited instantly locally OR online - does indicate that TW is very closely related to other netapplications also called Wikis. Have a look at tiddlyspace.com and say one word which can describe what's happening there - if that isn't online collaboration, I don't know what is... It's a notch more sophisticated than MediaWiki, in that it delivers private spaces and an option to publish material. CCtiddly and TiddlyHome are just two more platforms designed for collaboration,- and there are a few more to choose from. TiddlyWiki extends the word Wiki with a wider range of web2.0 tools than any other wiki I know of - locally *and* on the web... However reducing it to: "a // single user local note-keeping application//." is more misleading than " inside the file you have a complete suite to create a Wiki." Miguel - I think you've done a really good job! I'm sure that it will be a good starting point for many newcommers to TiddlyWiki. Thanks for sharing.
