Hi Matabele First of all, I want to say thank you for introducing me to the amazing slider table of contents on that Anki site. Wow, that would be cool on a TW...every time a link is clicked it not only takes you to the location but also takes you to the place in the TOC, too. And as you scroll up and down the story river, the TOC adjusts automatically...wow...
I would maybe split your three categories into four... Knowledge management I would split into two categories, one is knowledge management for self, and the other is sharing / publishing for others. I say this, because usually sharing for others (emailing to a friend, blogging and other web publishing, sharing with students, etc) means customizing it so that it is cleaner and less confusing. It also means adding instructions. And it might mean tweaks so that TW is more like slide presentations. Also, web publishing increasingly means making it more adaptable to multiple types of devices. This is different from knowledge management for self, where you know what kind of screen or device you use, find what works uniquely for you, and customize accordingly. Now comments about the uses themselves: 1. It would indeed be cool to use TW5 for mindmapping. Jeremy said it would be possible to create plugins for d3 type visualizations. I think this http://mbostock.github.com/d3/talk/20111018/tree.html would be a great candidate. Create tiddlers the normal way, through tagging and linking, and be able to see how they connect. 2. Bookmarks: I am pasting things into a TW I recently created for bookmarks: http://giffmex.org/experiments/tidmarks.html#Bookmarking%20with%20TidMarks and enjoying it immensely. Feel free to use anything you find helpful from that. Was just an experiment that I made available for others, and for me, the experiment worked. Would work even better with a TiddlySnip alternative for TW5. 3. Notes (knowledge management for self): with trepidation I upload for a while a link to this file http://www.giffmex.org/experiments/mind.and.intellect.html#All%20notelists as an example of what I am doing with my notes. The interface is kind of sloppy right now. I say trepidation because these are my personal notes so I am not careful with citations and copyright. It is not meant to be published online. I only offer it as an example. Anyway, I distinguish between indexes, notelists and notes. Indexes are lists of tiddler titles, for higher level table of contents. Notes are the content. And notelists are like lists of notecards, to visually separate ideas and display them all. Why do I do notelists? a. This way is lightning fast: there are time and datestamps for tiddler titles, so it is not necessary to title, just write/paste, and tag. b. It is visually appealing for many uses such as quotes, infographic type lists, photo galleries, etc. c. Sometimes an index of a list of tiddler titles doesn't remind you of their content, and you wish you could see their content without having to open each tiddler. So notelists are quick in that you can quicky scroll their contents. Anyway, this is my system, to pillage as needed. It is a TW5 equivalent of my old braintags for TWC. It won't appeal to everyone. I just mention it as an example of how someone who has played with a thousand ways to do notes, and have found this to be the best. It is not adequate as a one-TW-for-all-my-notes-on-everything, because eventually it would start slowing down, but one TW per topic it works fine. 4. I would add photo galleries as a usecase for TW. You can do masonry type galleries of online images or images in a folder. I once showed Jeremy an example I have of almost 1600 images linked to from a TW, in over 200 masonry galleries. It is showing signs of slowing down while editing, though, because of the complexity of the list filter. You also need to warn people of the legal issues that come from copying and pasting online images and videos and then hosting their TWs online. 5. I use TWC as a database for our seminary's library. http://www.giffmex.org/bibliotecaSTRM.html Would be great to have an out of the box version for TW5 for personal libraries with fields, etc. 6. Just a thought regarding journaling: Tiddler journal titles should have a time and datestamp that is appealing, for example, in the US it would be like this, "Wednesday, July 5, 2014". But the lists of journal entries should be sorted by date created (not date edited), so they appear in the correct chronological order. 7. TW is ideal for organizing recipes. Would be great to have an out of the box version for recipes. I am sure I could go on and on, but these bits are enough to get the conversation rolling.
