Hi Tobias
On Thu, > > What NameSpacePlugin does is actually quite simple. > Got it, thank you. It's an interesting take on intrinsic navigation, and takes us into the area of aliasing, which is a feature I think is definitely needed for TW5. When I was referring to "foo##bar" I actually meant tiddler *foo* with > section *bar*. It seems that you are considering discarding section > handling. I don't think that's a good idea.

My proposition is that TW should be oriented towards a small consistent set of inter-tiddler operations, without the complexity of intra-tiddler operations that in any case encourage authors to overload tiddlers with too much information. > No idea what properties and data tiddlers are but for them to use the same > syntax as previously was reserved for sections does not sound like a smart > choice, perhaps use something like $$ or && instead? > Generally I've not been too worried about re-using TW classic syntax for something else in TW5; as a constraint it would be crippling (eg, triple curly braces having changed meaning). Anyhow, property access of data tiddlers means being able to access the fields of a tiddler containing JSON. My original preference was to find a syntax that resembled JS property access, such as MyTiddler.field[23].mapping, but of course periods don't make a good separator in this case. > I'm also confused what it would mean to promote a field to a first class >> citizen. > > > I can live with only using fields in TW5 and discarding slices altogether. > "First class citizen" would mean to be able to make some fields more > prominently visible than others, so they are as easily accessible for > viewing (and perhaps inline editing in view-mode) as is the tiddler text... > rather than hidden in some info-section. > OK, arguably, the fields text, title and tags are already first class citizens; they are explicitly excluded from the field editor, and instead rendered as custom viewers/editors.
