Hi Jim! [judicious snipping follows]
> http://tiddlywiki-cooker.jpick.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/ That's certainly interesting idea, nicely implemented! > 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/ I'm pretty new to freebase, so it's going to take me a little while to understand this, but looks cool! > There are about 225 topics that make up the 'core' 2.4.1 TiddlyWiki > recipe that I put together. Ah, that sounds interesting, if only from the POV of cataloging "concepts", at least from the perspective of IA. > 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. How "fresh" is the content in Freebase? I notice a lot of the tiddlers are tagged version 2.4.1, I'm guessing you've a plan for evolution of core code / plugins / etc? > There are hundreds of recipes that > work with the standard cook.rb tool that could easily be ported over. Ah, when you say "port", how much work does that entail, and for whom? I'd also point you at TiddlyWeb, which offers an alternative method for for assembling TiddlyWikis, and which I know some folks prefer to cook, and I've heard some offer as a replacement of cook, at some point. > I'm very interested in developing a new type of 'tiddler' - one that > is bound to a Freebase topic.

That seems feasible, and could have uses for others wanting to combine Freebase topics in their own TWs. > 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.

I'm motivated to look further, and would encourage others to try and understand it, too. Seems significant. Thanks for sharing this with us, and thanks for bridging the two communities!
