Hi Mark In the release of the twEbook I have disabled the ability for readers to add, edit or save content using the tiddlywiki platform.
Please note that I expect in excess of 95% of readers to be interacting with the twEbook on mobile devices ( phone & tablets ). That means access to cloud services within the eBook ( NOT so common ...... yet!! ) Tiddlywiki is perfectly suited to embeds, online interaction etc - how many tiddlywikis have you created with <iframes>, <a & <h ref's for live maps, site links, audio, video? Why should content on eBooks be thought of - and delivered - as a book does .... ie just with TEXT and a colourful cover and some included images? That's like handing a child two tin cans connected with string - instead of the iPhone in your pocket. So, I am embedding a facility to handle uploading of content that can include : • text | notes | ideas | comments | journaling | etc • images from their device ( or from online links to sites / or from iCloud links I provide ) • audio ( similarly ) • video ( similarly ) I guess my perspectives include : •WHY overtax the TW format with additional complexity and bulk - when online connection can make it lighter, cleaner and provide far more options? • WHY NOT make eBooks FAR more vibrant and engaging? •WHY NOT allow the reader (participant) to add / curate / journal within the eBook using THEIR favourite platform ( medium, evernote, writebox etc ) by a simple upgrade of embedding ? A project underway illustrates this. 5 years ago, with some of my ( paramedic ) trainers, I developed a dynamic live 'SHOW' : " 11 DAYS : Survival Skills for Schoolies" in order to recreate/ present the 11 primary dangers facing school leavers attending Schoolies week locations ( incl drug and alcohol abuse - their direct and indirect consequences - overdose, poisoning, driving fatalities, drowning (beach parties), crushing (music events), sexually transmitted diseases, glassing ( in pubs, nightclubs etc), assault, sexual predators etc. Graphic, powerful stuff re-enacted with real situations on stage, with live and recreated footage and audio, student onstage enact enactments ( eg nite club 18yo overdose and paramedic attendance all the graphic evils needed to be seen) plus PAR (proactive, active & reactive) options and solutions for survival ... Up to 4000 in audience at any event (with medical and chaplain support each time) We're now Beyond Scoolies - as those holiday binge-feats are fast diminishing, yet the threats are there , more underground now and added to with bullying, identity theft, new drug risks, etc Time for a book that - interviews operational people talking about real situations, paramedics, police, counsellors, undercover agents, firemen, other emergency services, parents, survivors, victims ( audio mainly ) - allows notes and concepts to be recorded - polls conducted ( eg using APESTER ) - visually communicates in ways that text is too limited in - etc This book is half way into a 4 month work up. Not because we just CAN - but because it is all so POTENT by comparison with the alternatives - we WILL be using text, images, audio, video and LIVE UPDATES directly into the book via updated cloud-based content management, What eBooks use that ? V2 or new editions to update are old-school And downloading AGAIN to update should be a redundant process for users. Yes. That sounds like a website, doesn't it. Except that website are big clunky buggers to download and redeliver within an iPhone. However One single HTML file isn't. This is just a snippet of what I want to proceed with and am looking into setting up a new team to help action much of this and more. A TW eBook that works as a website, an online and offline DYNAMIC eBook. There are great educational and commercial applications for this and will be seeking mutually beneficial support soon with TW community. Am already involved with several NFP's to provide better communication dispersion ... Rural Communities to provide better marketing options ( LIVE, interactive, venue updatable Directories that will empower SME's and attract and engage their market.) Enough for now - was working up this email as one comm to many respondents- so have expanded this somewhat ...... Please If ySou wish to dig deeper, want to open up new possibilities, have a yearning to get something important taken live ....
