Mat,
I relation to collaborative tiddlywikis
I have considered this a serious problem since TW5 never dealt with it,
although there are options like bob and federation they do not extend to
the single file wiki which can be served anywhere. The server solutions
also quickly become fragile for people without the background knowledge,
skill or experience with various aspects of the technology outside standard
tiddlywiki.
I have remained focused as a superuser, not solving problems via external
knowledge or JavaScript intentionally. This allows me to understand the
scope of design possibilities within tiddlywiki rather than going outside
it to git hub, or node commands etc.
*The positive view*
I believe there is a way already using the tiddlywiki core and possibly a
few tweaks that can be done at the application level of tiddlywiki. An
example would be saving a users changes into a separate file that can be
overlayed onto the core wiki, with an "owner" (checked out) who can merge
either with intentional review or automatically. On top of a per tiddler
saver like node this would be easy to also save users tiddlers in a
separate namespace and use them to change control the source of truth.
There are as yet un-simplified possibilities discussed here and there, from
libraries to content pull methods.
*The not positive view*
I love the opportunities node gives us but it fails in one very particular
way, it is not an internet ready server of folder wikis. True Jed is at the
leading edge on this but their remains complexity and technical issues for
everyday user. This is one reason I use folder wikis internally, and single
file wikis externally. An example would be an Apache tiddlywiki, php server
which are readily available everywhere, alternatively if it was easy to
host docker packages one could be built that users customise. Amazon is
another platform on Which Jeremy has succeeded in delivering a large amount
of information but Its not clear the level of collaboration available an
even as an IT Professional this implementation assumes a lot of subject
area specific knowledge that makes it a long journey for me.
Also
- I think TW federation may be a solution if it can be unshackled from
the Node Server?
- I find it difficult to understand the underlying principals and
possibilities of TW Federation (My bad)
- I also agree that GitHub is not suited to serving more than file based
wikis (except for developer collaboration) and thus not an open
collaborative platform, especially given its need for subject specific
knowledge.
I am happy to be corrected or "shown the light" but this is my current
understanding and I am fairly well informed.
Regards
Tony
