Dear all,
Please help me to specify a task for TW expert Eric. I have the previlige of having him sweat 4 hours on one of my crazy ideas and I hope to make the most out. My idea is to make a thing for the community that I illustrate here: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-owyu5Vzjrx0/VKre9O30lpI/AAAAAAAAPG8/X-dsBXPiYJA/s1600/SocialTW5.png> So, the overall idea is to have some way to include tiddlers from other public tiddlywikis. Yes - four hours - so, I hope to have him start off a project that, if not finished, can be picked up by others. I need your help to specify this for Eric. This means to identify the major hurdles and pros and cons with different solutions, prioritize to make best use of his skill, and generally limit the project to the key parts. I hope for a tiddler to be used as a kind of display window from which you can easily pick what you want to include into your TW. Like an appstore if used for showing plugins or themes. Or a bookshelf if booktitles. Or as a project collaboration folder showing stuff from other peoples contributions to a project. What is seen in your tiddler is "only seen", i.e it is not affecting your tw - but it should be very easy to include if you want to. Changes in the external tiddlers are reflected in your tiddler - ideally right away or possibly on reload of your tiddler (or TW?) In the illustration you see an "aggregation appstore" (C1) linking to other themes - and you appearently wanted the second and third things to show in your goodiebag tiddler (A). As noted at (B) you can apply your own formatting and stuff (CSS, icons?) onto things as they are displayed in your eclectic tiddler. Other than step (B) I'm guessing that it is the same "mechanism" repeated at each step to display it onwards. The "mechanism" for it should ideally be as closely integrated in TW as possible and not some separate program. Also, the content providers (C, D) should not have to manipulate their TWs to enable it. I could have Eric help me with my personal TW problems (and I've got plenty) but I think something like this would be of tremenduous use for us all and mean more in the longer run. So fellow tiddlywikians - please help specify this for Eric! <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
