Hello Arlen, I read your document on Google Docs, You discuss to possibilities of making a huge wikipedia-like site using TiddlyWiki.
TiddlyWiki, the app inside the browser, is designed to stand on its own because all the content is already contained within it. A user can save the file locally and still run it even offline. So your discussions there about using a database and building in dependencies upon a website don't really fit the purpose/mindset behind TW. You are right in your discussion there that no one would want to load all of wikipedia into their computer's memory space all at once, but that isn't the mindset behind TiddlyWiki. It would be like driving a square peg into a round hole. You can even email your entire wiki with TiddlyWiki because it can be saved as a single file. I recommend having a separate TW for each major area of interest you wish to save information on, you can link to the other TW files and load them smoothly in that manner. That is what I do. -Doug On Friday, December 16, 2016 at 4:07:02 PM UTC-6, Arlen Beiler wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > After making the comment on the documentation, I started wondering exactly > what it would require to re-invent the MediaWiki juggernaut as TiddlyWiki. > Here is what I came up with.
