Hello all, This topic came up in the where-to-host-the-tiddlywiki-wiki thread [1] but it is a separate issue.
Chris wrote about TiddlySpace: It's not that the history doesn't exist, it's that the tools for accessing it don't provide the "rich" experience that some wikis provide. Poul pointed to Giewiki, which he says has Better revision control, including diff and revert TW buys its cool nonlinearity with a by default reduced historical slant. This is not a problem for content that doesn't change much, but a lot of content will. To me and at first sight, Giewiki does make the tiddler version history more smoothly accessible than TiddlySpace. In TS, clicking on "last modified on..." gives a neat stack of earlier versions with a revert option, but there is no highlighting of changes. Playing with revisions and comparisons via "additional commands" leads to a proliferation of tiddlers in the timeline. This may be useful but the first impression seems confusing... also, trying to delete these tiddlers tends to beget messy errors like "Error removing ModTest [diff: #172991 #172990]: Precondition Failed". Thinking about public knowledge maps, how about a prominently displayed toggle in View mode, that highlights differences with the previous version of the tiddler. For instance, I get the blog.tiddlyspace.com atom feed in my feed reader, so I see when one of the tiddlers there gets changed -- but when I call up the TW it is not terribly apparent what exact change has been made. One can easily imagine still fancier tools like a timeline that lets you step through the growth and change of a wiki; but the above seems more fundamental. cheers, Kosmaton [1] https://groups.google.com/forum/?pli=1#!topic/tiddlywiki/wAW1pQABu8k -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
