Jeremy had suggested a very similar situation a while ago when talking about federation, but now we have some more pieces about how we could make it work.
Using tiddlywikis as blogs as an example situation: We each have our own wiki hosted where ever we want and we have some agreed-upon convention for tagging posts. If you want to follow a wiki you import a tiddler that contains metadata about that wiki (like url, author, etc.). We make a button that when you click it will, using the URL control, create a bundle from tiddlers on the followed wiki using some filter (like all new posts, all comments tagged with a specific post, etc.), you then import this bundle into your own wiki and unpack it. If we can automate this so you just open your wiki and click on a button to do all of the fetching and importing that would be nice, if we need to have some intermediate steps for now it still works. In this situation if you post something and I want to comment on it I would import your post into my wiki and leave the comment on it there and then when you check for updates from my wiki it would see that comment and import it to the correct place in your wiki. All of this would take some consensus on tagging, and you may just make a comment tiddler and tag it instead of importing the original post or something like that. I think that importing the original post would work best but we could just have a link to the original post or something similar. In this case a site like mine that can take outside comments could be used as a bridge to comment on wikis that don't have access to a server. To we have everything to make a minimally working version of this now, but to make it work well we should make a way to create the bundles via url and a way to import the bundle without having to open up the second wiki. There are a lot of things to decide about what conventions to use for this and I am not sure how reasonable making the bundles using url parameters and then importing the result automatically would be. But that is what all of this made me think of. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
