Ciao Mat, Jed & tutti Basically here we are talking about aggregation of one form or another to aid knowing what is available
I very much grasp that Twederation (TWED) may well be RIGHT bees knees longer term to do that. One thing I was thinking about was a universal system of fields or tags that would enable an aggregator to harvest stuff already to some kind of standard. Fully compatible with TWED (even as is). So that other approaches could also work. There are many issues to sort. I want to make a few points now ... 1 - If TWED were the way to go there will STILL, I think, be need for lists of resources outwith it. TWED will function within TW. BUT there is also a need for resources lists outside TW. *Mark S. Has made good points about that. *You can't expect beginners to begin unless they know what is available. And its a pain-in-the-ass having to figure stuff out as it is, even for The Constant Reader. Perhaps TWED can be used to generate the needed lists? BUT what should be done before its really working as a matter of course? 2 - Erwin's existing solution to registered stuff is nice. Though falls way behind because few, including people who understand it, register for it. Perché? 3 - I think a LOT of our issues are because Google Groups are so crap. Its fine for immediate interaction. Its terrible for searching and finding past posts (posts that carry the links & works we are talking about). In short, I feel we are positing a savior system when the basic day-to-day system we use is inadequate to the job (job=EASY HISTORY lookup). THAT is making everything more complex. 4 - The whole discussion is bringing up underlying core themes in TiddlyWiki. Some of it is, IMO, an individualism too far. Fragmentation of information is pretty extreme as things currently stand. Best wishes Josiah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
