A couple of comments
1) I like the idea of collaborating at the level of "single tiddlers"
All I have to do is put a single tiddler on github and publish the
address and off we go.
2) Bundles of related tiddlers could be published with names like
Tiddler.tid.zip (or something)
3) I suspect github or Google pages or (whatever) will muck with the
content-types and so on
but it would be easy to just define "tiddlers over HTTP" - just send them
as regular HTTP pages
where the Body is tiddler (headers and all) - ie the .tid file verbatim.
4) It seems to me the creating an entire TW (as a single all-in-one file)
is a job of collating and selecting
which tiddlers you want to appear in the final TW.
Of course, many users will not want this fine level of granularity - but I
rather like the idea of 'remoting'
individual tiddlers.
Really this is a discussion about what I might call "the granularity of
collaboration" - which I think is an individual tiddler.
When I've written books most of the discussion with my editor has been over
individual paragraphs and not the
whole - put the parts together into the whole is a different exercise.
It could be quite fun. See my
- https://joearms.github.io/tiddlers/A programmers introduction to the
TiddlyWiki.tid
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fjoearms.github.io%2Ftiddlers%2FA%2520programmers%2520introduction%2520to%2520the%2520TiddlyWiki.tid&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNELHRa4E0GprfLXl5j9yrltBWdlkw>
I can image people pushing minor changes to this, or proposing alternatives
- getting the individual tiddlers right
seems a nice step *before* assembling the parts into the whole. Of course,
this is an approximation and the two phases
writing tiddlers and assembling them into larger parts cannot be separated
- but the TW allow seamless flipping between these two modes.
Fun stuff
Cheers
