Hi,

I'd like to announce my latest little hack.

It's an Acre app, and it lives here:

  http://tiddlywiki-cooker.jpick.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/

What it does is build a TiddlyWiki from scratch, by pulling all the
bits out of Freebase.  You can see the recipe and ingredients here:

  http://tiddlywiki.freebase.com/

There are about 225 topics that make up the 'core' 2.4.1 TiddlyWiki
recipe that I put together.

Using this core recipe, it should be possible to build additional
recipes that add more content, plugins, etc. just by creating new
topics and linking them together.

The TiddlyWiki community is a very active one, and there are hundreds
of interesting plugins that can be put together to create all sort of
wonderful 'vertical' applications.  There are hundreds of recipes that
work with the standard cook.rb tool that could easily be ported over.

With this base infrastructure in place, I have a lot of ideas of
things that could be done...

I'm very interested in developing a new type of 'tiddler' - one that
is bound to a Freebase topic.  By implementing a new TiddlyWiki
'adaptor', it should be possible to have bi-directional syncing
between the content in a TiddlyWiki and what is in Freebase.

Additionally, I am very excited about the possibility of using things
like Martin Budden's MediaWikiFormatterPlugin and Tony Garnock-Jones'
Synchrotron to build content-specific systems for authors to assist in
synchronizing Wikipedia content with Freebase content.

This is just a start.  But I thought I'd announce it right away, in
case anybody else is interested in playing with it too.

Cheers,

 - Jim
