Hi Mat,
when it comes to things like this, it is important to be aware that the
"good solution with TW in a very short time" is probably a bad idea in a
professional setting. When it comes to sensitive and important data, you
practically almost always want an established and tested (and secure,
reliable...) solution.
I've played around with interfacing TW to various external data sources,
but the way it always worked was that the TW becomes something of a
central datastore (or the tiddlyweb-store behind it). And while there
have been experiments to interface TW with various database
applications, I imagine that if you want a _proper_ solution to your
intranet problem, you would want this to go a lot further and get
something where TW would be sort of a "User Interface" or "Client" to a
more established storage solution in the background (with read and write
access).
I think the cool thing is that with some clever engineering, you can
make almost any dataset look like a collection of tiddlers.

What would it take for TW to be able to present external dataj so it
is workable with, in TW?
I.e if we assume data like; customer contact info, orders, billing,
critical dates etc can be fetched from various places into one
place... what would such a place be and what format should the data
ideally be in for it to be used as seamlessly as possible with TW?
I assume there is no clean cut answer for this but I'd love to hear
your thoughts on the matter.
The background is that I recently started working at a company that
uses a /load/ of software tools for internal admin and to capture the
workflow....basecamp, freshdesk, highrise, several custom solutions as
well as file storage solutions and tools for communication. Several
attempts have been made to create some intranet solutions but it is
really frustrating that for MANY of problems that we stumble on I feel
I could make pretty good solutions with TW in a very short time. ..if
it could just fetch the input data somehow.
Thanks!
