Hi Jonnan, There are several file syncing services, that may work well with TW.
I did discover seafile [1] service lately. They provide a file based sync, and are able to discover conflicts, if 2 files have been edited at the same time. The mechanism doesn't do any automatic merging ... The latest file wins, but the conflicting file is synced to both sides too, so it is possible to see, that there is something wrong. Resolution needs manual intervention. ... I did show the TW node based possibilities in hangout#33 [2]. The cool thing about this particular service is, that they did include a "social discussion" component. So it is possible to easily create groups and file related discussions. So discussions about a single file are linked to this file and can be easily discovered. ... I didn't do much more testing, than shown in the video. I also forgot to mention the social aspect in the video. I think this service could have great potential, because it is possible to discuss and share single tiddlers from a TW ... The software is open source. So it is possible to run your own server / service, if you want. Conclusion: I think the file based syncing approach is interesting if you have the right setting. eg: One or a view "writers" and many "readers", so the confilct handling doesn't cause too much trouble. Especially, if you can discuss TW changes prior to publishing them ... If you have a very dynamic setting, with several people editing at the same time, imo a file based approach is broken by design. have fun! mario [1] http://www.seafile.com/en/home/ [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GEqXu6xay7M#t=1989 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
