Catalogue of goto off-the-shelf Wikis?

[Amit Ahire]

Hello, 

I have been big fan tiddlywiki for some time (no big news there) - But I still feel that there is a big learning curve and ppl get lost in customizing their own solution after the learning the basic. (Yes I guess I am talking about myself...)

I keep seeing other ppl who have used TW5 to do wonderful things like websites, journals online, blogs etc 

I feel that we as a community can make these sites/templates available online to people who would like "off-the-shelf" solutions. With the list of plugins that the TW5 is enabled with and if/any custom tools available in the wiki.A catalogue of such wikis in one place would be very beneficial for ppl who - like some particular feature or site that they come across web.

Just a thought. And yes I am aware that you could just download the wiki you like and then use it. I am talking about a site with different TW5 solutions for different needs.

Thanks

That is a good and to the point post.

Whilst it is obvious that folk are creating well thought through wiki--hence all the specific questions here--people who just want to adopt solutions but not have to re-develop them are at a serious disadvantage because its often difficult to get to SEE the really good final wiki solutions that people make in their full richness.

IMO TiddlyWiki would do a lot better on uptake if every day or so we could publish a link to a full public TW. I don't mean a demo of a plugin. I mean an actual live wiki being used in normal daily life for a purpose. Currently that is extremely difficult because folk don't share much their end results here. I'm not sure that is an intrinsic problem. I think its more likely the culture of this Google Group isn't much orientated to SHOWING yet.

Picking up on your point about a "site of solutions", one thing that interests me is the curation of "TW suites" orientated towards specific purposes. So a wiki orientated towards blogging, another orientated towards research data collection, another orientated towards recipe collections, another orientated towards time and task management like GTDs ... etc. Each being assemblages of macros, plugins proven to support the purpose plus real content.

To work it would need some kind of method for collating, collecting  and organising enough good work. At the moment this is not much thought about here yet.

Best wishes

Josiah,

With respect, there is At the moment this is "much thought about [this] here yet". I have being and I am building such a resource now, I have tried to engage you a few times on this, I am not sure if I am over looked or being ignored.

Ciao TonyM

eek. I'm not avoiding you. It may be purely a tech issue. I did write you two emails I never got replies to. I just assumed they were lost in a netherland sump :-)

Also you need to understand I am an idiot on tech. I'm good on reviewing outputs. I'm crap at creating. So on a project that creates things I'd be about as useful as a blancmange for cutting bread.

Your project looks quite orientated to making things. My interest, and where I have some basic skill, is simply to wonder IF we can catalogue already what exists since that already looks vast. I'm an okay sniffer.

Hope that clarifies it a bit
Best, Josiah

Josiah,

Thanks for responding, I will revisit those emails. I imagine I agreed with what you said. I will publicise my current effort shortly, the problem I have is a need to earn an income. I no longer wish to "work for the man".

Tony
