Hi Jeremy - that's brilliant
Next problem is copyright
Here are some alternatives
1) I contact the authors individually and ask if I can copy-paste-edit
their tiddlers
I get annoyed if people "borrow" my code without attribution so
this is the least I can do
This is OK if the authors are active and reply to emails but is very
problematic if the material
is really good, really old and the authors do not reply to emails
and have not tagged their material
with usage rights.
2) I make a kind of "meta TW" ie construct
a TW from a long list of Tiddlers (this is the old EDL idea from
Xanadu) ((EDL = Edit description list))
3) get an authors sub-group and give them access to a shared github
account
...
It would be very nice if tiddlers had some kind of attribution field and if
the TW as a whole
had permissions and reuse tiddler.
It would be nice if tiddlers that contained copy-paste data from external
TWs had a
a "contributors" field which when clicked on said
"This tiddler contains information obtained from the following sources"
<tiddler> <date> <author>
Just as an aside my publisher (Pragmatic Press) requires written permission
statements
from all authors who work I quote from - event Tweets (this follows legal
action, where a Tweet
was reused without permission) - this is true of virtually all publishers,
they worry that legal action will be
taken if they reproduce anything for which permission statements are not
available.
(it's actually OK with emails - the problem is if you can't identify the
author, or they don't reply to emails)
In order not to run foul of GDPR/copyright etc. I'd need explicit written
permission
to quote from external tiddlers.
I don't really know how to solve this problem
Cheers
/Joe
