Hi Greg, Your description is right.
The idea is related to Smallest Federated Wiki <http://fed.wiki.org/>. ... IMO the main idea there is, that you can link content from one wiki to an other, and display the info in one page. The problem with this implementation is, that it needs server side software. TiddlyWikis Idea is to work as a single file wiki. ... The mechanism, that's discussed is similar to the new plugin library. The mechanism used for the TW plugin library uses Iframes. Iframes can use a javascript window.postMessage() [1][5] to communicate with the host page *across domains* [3]. Jeremy talks about the topic in hangout 78 see link [4]. Latest browsers implement some more javascript functions, that let different tabs ore even different browser windows [2] communicate with each other. This gives developers a bunch of new and fancy functionalities. ... but the "same origin policy" [3] applies here for security reasons. Eg: If you have 2 tabs or even windows with the same tiddlywiki open and modify one of them. TW could implement a function that notifies the other windows about the change. .. So they can display a message, that editing there may overwrite content. In a second step syncing would be possible, but that's muuuch more work ;) hope that helps. mario [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage [2] https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/02/broadcastchannel-api-in-firefox-38/ [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy [4] https://youtu.be/RSTxUXquegA?t=4743 [5] https://youtu.be/RSTxUXquegA?t=5212 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
