Greetings! Creating an alternative tiddlywiki documentation universe...

[SteveSchneider DesignWriteX]

Hello, folks interested in TiddlyWiki documentation.

As part of the DesignWriteStudio (http://bit.do/designwrite) -- that online place where folks can learn how to use TiddlyWiki to create interactive texts using hypertext principles, and participate as an "open" student or tuitioned student earning undergrad or graduate credit -- I'm thinking about having students in a software documentation class learn some Tiddlywiki and write documentation for it.

I'd like to modify the $:/ContributionBanner tiddler in tiddlywiki.com so that all documents written by my students through the mechanism (github, forking repos, etc) are shared only within my virtual classroom -- that an alternative tiddlywiki documentation universe -- and not sent to Jeremy or other developers as serious suggestions.  Anyone know how that could be done? I'll work my way through it, but if it is really clear to someone, let me know? I think this is mostly a github question, not a TW question.

And who knows: we might get some good work! (which could then be contributed to the community if the students wanted to do so).

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Steve,

I just want to mention that once TWederation and TW networks is functional, it will be super easy to do this; i.e everyone would just have their own TW (with installed  twederation plugins) and then they'd simply author their documentation in tiddlers. Everyone would fetch everyone elses documentatoins and with possibility to give comments and feedback on them... and, yeah, that's it.

I'll send you a private link to the current Discussion application that is actually up and running. At the moment it is not open for the public but you'll see how a not-yet-polished version actually looks.

Ciao Steve

DesignWrite is a really interesting project. In particular, the concentration on developing TW documents using explicit hypertext principles step by step. I think that kind of approach instances two things: (1) concrete outputs; (2) explicit documentation. Its sort-of "self-documenting". IMO that kind of structured learning process is very effective in helping to learn TW. I have commented a few times that a "procedural" approach, focused on USES, by extended documentation by example apps/docs is both a good experience & effective, especially for new learners. DesignWrite is an example of that.

Best wishes
Josiah

I know it's off topic a little but how do you do that floating tool bar in the top left?

Hi, you can use code inspector with Firefox for example to identify a css class, and then find information with advanced search form, for example :

• find css class tc-topbar-right
• search in advanced mode and find $:/core/ui/PageTemplate/toprightbar
• have a look inside and find $:/tags/TopRightBar
• search this in standard search and find SystemTags
• select tag pill $:/tags/TopRightBar and find $:/core/ui/TopBar/menu

Hope this help
Sylvain
