TWiRB = TiddlyWiki internet Resource Base. (The IMDb for TW.) *I have been very struck by David Gifford's list of resources at TiddlyToolmap <https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM>*. Its increasingly used and welcomed.
It is having good "synergistic effects" in that a user wanting to look at past solutions can find them MUCH more easily. This seriously leverages innovation. It is quite obvious its having tangible positive effects. Let this be not just David's work for us. But, rather a pledge to help him solve the "info fragmentation" problem TW has permanently, by being inspired by his work and building off it. --- David's list is not itself a TiddlyWiki. I don't see the problem. Yes, it would be optimally best if it were a TW, since that is the general fetish. BUT, I am more interested in what happens than any theory about what "should" have happened that didn't. It works. --- Over on GitHub there is serious work of another kind going on, from a different perspective, that leads off in other directions. Good ones to do with ideas of automated data harvesting & inter-working. But the better elegance of GitHub I do NOT think has in anyway yet grasped the nettle of "resources-in-the-wild". Why should it? BUT IF the idea is that a good resource list can ONLY come though some GitHub mediated system you need to belong to in some way. Well, forget it. That is wrong and actually fogs the waters. --- My point remains, outside GitHub, it is not the driving force in logging resources. Why? Because most TW users don't use it. In other words, its not a definer. The easiest I can say it is: *Rather than WE adapt to GitHub, GitHub adapt to US*. --- This is why I suggested that a good interim step is to help focus less on the "method" of communicating Important Resources and more on a basic "*data structure for a resource*". By concentrating on getting the "CHUNKS" of info correct enough they can be imported into anything. Combined. Re-done. In a manageable way. That seems best for longevity. I wrote a post about it to Dev group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywikidev/kz_EvphpMzY It is maybe not understood? I think it is important. David's pragmatism has, basically, given the BASIS for a solution to a long-term problem. I would like we find some kind of scope of how to organise such info to move on. A data structure seems easiest. David's list is approaching 600. If it gets much longer it will become unwieldy to develop from. --- Allora. I said most of what I wanted to say & not too badly.
