Hi Dmitry, Without getting into too much detail atm, thank you for your very well thought out response which quite put your motivation(s) into perspective.
You are indeed quite ambitious and I now see that you are rather good at communicating a clear perspective, perhaps leading to workable future frameworks, in terms of organisation as well as technological focus. Of course, you can imagine that *multi-user* is a buzzword that probably popped up as early as the first year of TiddlyWiki being around. With the end of TiddlySpace and plenty silence around TiddlyWeb, the most advanced collaborative technology for TiddlyWiki didn't quite manage to sprout, if only for its gardeners having gone and focus on other fruits to harvest. So, at this point, it seems, we've gone back to square 1 for now in terms coming to new forms of TiddlyWiki-driven collaboration. You can still see a remnant of previous collaborative efforts involving inclusion of bags of tiddlers in the context where needed in something like: http://mbtf.tiddlyspace.com, knowing that local centers were able to include the master documentation and branch of from there, extend it as needed... while the master documentation would be able to list and display local variations of itself. I am in no position to say wheter TWederation has the potential of filling the collaboration gap or not. Possibly, a node.js & GitHub driven workflow, especially for a developer community seems to make for a splendid TiddlyWiki based collaboration platform, including versioning, and conflict resolution via merges, etc... with the master being publicly accessible for consumption, for example... somewhat similar to TiddlyWiki.com. But, of course, this type of workflow is hardly apt for the general public, or so it seems, for now. but perhaps it actually isn't. There once were some tests regarding a GitStore implementation... you know, storing tiddlers in GitHub directly, from within TiddlyWiki. But you can imagine the complexities of resolving merge-conflicts, should they arise. As for a P2P web of tiddlers, it appears we've only just started exploring this kind of technology, e.g. via BeakerBrowser <https://beakerbrowser.com/>. How this helps advance multi-user applications, at this point, is more or less unknown. Anyway, there's solving all the little challenges which I think is what this group is doing, mostly, every day. But perhaps it's time to consider the more long term challenges a bit more frequently and a bit more strategically, not just from a development point of view, in terms of code-base that is. How and possibly where that may unfold, we have yet to see. Best wishes, Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
