<<< Quick question: How would you guys think about organizing tiddlers in such a shared DropBoxWiki environment? I mean, it seems difficult to structure content via tagging unless the structure were already known to begin with, which it rarely is, I guess. >>>
It's a good question. Other ways could be by * creator (needs eric [[[Core Tweeks 471]]) * new tiddler macro automatically creating a tag with of username or a prefix to the title. eg Alex : Dropbox and Tiddly Wiki, Tobias : Dropbox and TiddlyWiki. I am thinking about "convention over configuration" i read about in Rails. And the idea that different groups might form different conventions. In the team work / creativity literature, there is a thread which talks about the team themselves being able to have the ability to change its process. So in some respects, discussing this kind of thing at the "storming" and "norming" stages ([[Tuckman Model]]) could be beneficial. A team's constant reflection on their process embedded in their identity is identified as a factor in good team performance (Creative Leaders Handbook [2]) In terms of cybernetics and the [[Viable System Model]], all this stuff is classed as [[System 2]] - its about co-ordination. The key concern is balancing the complexity of the S2 with the other systems ([[I'll write more about this later)]]. This balance has something to do with the individual and their preference and competence with IT systems. So, if some member of a team is going to use Word for absolutely everything and will --under no circumstances wish to experiment -- the S2 should be designed to accommodate them but without reducing the members of the team who want to use other technology (Like TW, binary images tiddlers, dropbox). Of course a balance would have to be stuck, but Dropbox's ability to host crufty [3] stuff (thanks for the new word Jeremy, i thought you meant something like a dogshow.. small fish, dogshows... what next? pigeon lofts, allotments?)
