I would definitely argue that giewiki (as I like to write the name) could be a good fit for your needs. It has features to let you spread your content across multiple pages while still allowing full-text search, as would probably be a good idea with like 700 tiddlers to share. It also has it's own take on custom tiddler templates, and a fairly complete access control mechanism.
It is designed to be hosted on the Google App Engine and as such offers you more options for server-side extensibility than you would have by hosting your page on TiddlySpace. Compared to hosting your own TiddlyWeb server, you should also find deployment much easier. The main drawback for some would be that giewiki is based on an older version of TW, and strictly speaking, it is a forked derivative. This may or may not be a problem to you - I would think that most of the changes I've made contribute to making it more suitable for web applications. :-) Poul http://giewiki.appspot.com On Friday, November 23, 2012 2:45:38 AM UTC+1, Kriss wrote: > > Hello guys, > > I am confused about the use of the different TW spin-offs. > > I am organizing a large international benefit event and during the > preparation phase, I have been using tiddlywiki as a tool to structure my > ideas, collect all the information (background-info, lists of all kinds, > contact-info (with *TaggedTemplateTweak*),...) and write a descriptive > document about the different aspects of the project. > (I have been using TW for 2 years now, on *Firefox *(most often on *Prism*) > in combination with *Dropbox *and on *andtidwiki *for my android phone - > the portable and off-line functionality is important to me) > > Now I have reached the point where the concept is mature, I need to start > sharing the information with other people: the volunteers that help in > implementing the project, and later-on maybe partners and sponsors. > > There are close to 700 tiddlers in this wiki, with lots of > links/transclusions and many also with automated contents (FET-lists and > such) > > As I understand Tiddlywiki is intended as a personal document and it was > never really suited for collaboration with different people at the same > time.
