Josua,
As you know I follow your work on this, and I have let you know I am
impressed. As an IT Professional I expect to use you wonderful resource to
"pull a rabbit out of a hat" when sophisticated data transfer or import is
required. I am keen to spend time with it to be more familiar with it and
perhaps craft some high level guidance material because being so
comprehensive "the possibilities" it would help.
With your various operators I wonder if a subset of these should be
available to more users than those needing the full suite, in some cases
even included in the standard release?
I have being playing games with the import process, moving imports into
plugins or json files and republishing content. I have discovered so many
opportunities that it will take time for me to develop a "best practice"
however I see methods to increase the utility of json and csv files within
tiddlywiki.
I want to propose a collaboration if you are interested and we are isolated
in coming weeks, basically to develop and promote the use of json and other
data tiddlers more and position your tools effectively. A set of methods
and work flows based on your work and my own.
Here are some objectives I have in mind;
- Easy packaging for drag and drop of any combination of tiddlers and
solutions
- Easy table JSON to csv and tables exchange
- Developing json and/or plugins with test data as reference data for
sharing with the community in troubleshooting
- Where a rich set of test data is available so people can test
against a reference set of data rather than share their own data
- Using such tools for extracting data from other systems or services
with examples
What do you think?
Regards
Tony
