On copyright:
I was thinking more of books - there have been several calls in the TW
lists for a TW book (and I'd like to see
one - if I knew the TW well enough I could even think of writing one)
The problem is publishers require written authorization notes for
everything that is not the original
work of the author.
I asked on the Pragmatic Authors List (where I'm a member) - can I quote a
Tweet - answer "You have to get
written permission of the author" (email is OK)
The idea of cutting and pasting from many of the good tiddlers I've
stumbled over would be an
administrative nightmare.
I'd really like to implement the idea of EDLs (Edit description lists) that
comes from Xanadu
An Edit description lists tells where everything came from. Imagine a EDL
in some synatx:
[1] = http://www.a.b.c/this.html#tiddlerName1
[2] = http://www.x.y/that.html#TiddlerName2
...
copy 1,400,120
copy 2,300,68
data "abc"
[1] [2] etc define some tiddlers
copy 1,400,120
means copy 120 bytes starting at byte 400 from reference 1 to output
data "abc"
means append "abc" to output
Now if the tiddlers themselves had "licence:MIT, reuse:true" headers
then the EDL could be automatically checked and everybody
could get the credits they deserve.
Of course, maintaining the EDL is something that should be done
programmatically.
TW is one of the few programs that comes near to implementing the ideas of
Xanadu
- which is why I think it's great.
For authoring high quality documents - the editing and review process is
critical.
So I'd like to see ways to automate the author <-> editor feedback cycle.
Cheers
/Joe
