Hi Dickon,
your TW strikes the reader dead since the starting tiddlers are mixing
TW-related technical stuff ("How-to use a wiki", showing/hiding the
sidemenu", etc) with therapeutical stuff ("Whats the problem", "What
to do", etc.
My proposal:
Write some "meta tiddler" showing a kind of chapter/section structure
like the outline of a text book.
1 What's the problem?
--- tiddler Problem A
--- tiddler Problem B
2 What's the team
--- tiddler Team A
--- tiddler Team B
3......
then all sub tiddlers in section 1 copuld be tagged with "problem",
all subs in 2 tagged with "team", etc. By using the command
<<tiddlerList tags:"problem,-excludeList">> in Meta Tiddler 1
generates a table of content of all problem tiddlers
<<tiddlerList tags:"team,-excludeList">> in Meta Tiddler 1 generates a
table of content of all team tiddlers, etc.
Since the audience of your TW is probably not acquainted with the
concept of tagging use the NewTiddlerMacro (http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
#NewTiddlerMacro) to generate new tiddlers from pre-defined templates
pre-tagged with "problem", or "team", etc.
IHO do not display the tag cloud: it' confuses more than it helps.
My summary:
- define a book like outline structure,
- generate all new tiddlers in each section from pre-defined
templates with pre-set tags
- generate for navigation tag lists in each section.
- you can set up a kind of reviewed publishing process to define
cross-links between all the tiddlers by an expirienced TW user
(youself?)
Just some thoughts...
have fun
Michael
