I have posted about the AMBIT project a few times before. AMBIT a developing therapeutic method of working with young people who have multiple complex problems (crime, mental health, drugs, family breakdown, etc). We have trained a number of teams in this method and the 'manual' (how-to-do-it) is an opensource TW, versions of which can be found at http://www.tiddlymanuals.com
Using TiddlyWeb (and soon TiddlySpace) we can have a number of teams making local adaptations to 'their' local version of the manual, so it isn't just a bunch of geezers in an ivory tower telling them how to do it from afar. the workers seem to like working in this way, but we are really trying to beef up the support from the manual (adding streaming video examples of "how to do it, etc") and to improve the navigation and the feel of it. This is where I, as a non-expert, am struggling a bit. At a recent TiddlyChat meeting Paul Downey made some excellent and insightful comments about the U.I., and how perhaps if we wanted to avoid 'scaring' non-technical therapists/workers we ought to consider designing a layout that looked a bit more like what they are used to - which is notebooks, or reference texts; paper rather than digital screens. It occurred to me that there may be experts out there, who with a few tweaks could show me stuff to improve the user experience that would take me hours/years to work out. If anyone in this group would like to download a copy of the manual (http://imp.peermore.com/imp/recipes/imp/tiddlers.wiki) and have a hack at the style, I would be hugely interested and appreciative. One possibility would be for me to then circulate different versions to the various teams who are meant to be checking in to 'their' local variants of the manual, to see if they have strong preferences for these over the present version.
