Thanks for keeping track of this important discussion.


Well if this is to share information and see how we can use Tiddlywiki in this situation as a tool to help others.

In addition to your ideas I see building home entertainment ideas for those at home, especialy those home with children. Tips and tools for working at home or learning new skills in extended downtime for people who have lost their jobs would be a great place for tiddlywiki.

There are also resources for saving money or growing vegies etc at least for those entering the northern summer would be a helpful supliment to food, activities and wellbeing for the isolated.

Absolutely great! I have time to move many lecture notes to Tiddlywiki.

So let's do TW for family movies ...

Just ask me to give a long list. But are they free?

How would that help them get jobs? Just asking. Basically its an economy with low demand now.

A TW concerned with employment. Yes.

There are also resources for saving money or growing vegies etc


Yeah masses exist for that already on web. Could you explain the benefit of a TW on that? 

Maybe one might optimize it? How?

Could you give an example using a TW to aid that?

It's hard to imagine what TW would bring to the table that PDF's and standard documents would not.

The exception might be in education, since there are so many parents home schooling. This would actually be a good use of node.

One computer could host the TW files on node. The kids could do their worksheets from their favorite tablet or device. The parents TW would load the kid's completed tiddlers and combine with the answer key. In this way they could track progress, provide feedback.

The starting point (similar to recipes) would be access to high quality, DRM-free, source material

Good to know


COVID-19: Free Awareness Icons
Help get the word out about hygiene recommendations and other initiatives to fight COVID-19! Use these icons in signs, reminders, tracking apps, and more.

Every solid style icon in this release is free to use and open-source.

Perhaps enter imagination mode rather than cynic. Tiddlywiki is great for cumulative personal notes. It can be used to build personally curated resources even a database and is easy to share with others.

There is a lot of information out there but more of it is not relevant to particular circumstances than is relavant. Lets say you live in an apartment if you want to grow things you need selective info.

Someone with an interest or hobby can capture their specialist knowledge for self or others.

I am currently not working full time as I build my own business venture. However I told myself durring this period I would actively develop reusable skills durring this period so I have more skills if I return to work.

If you are safe and can afford to live while isolated a lot of people feel out of control. I think self education and skills development can not only fill the gaps but prepare for better times.

When I was young I experienced the stress of living paycheck to paycheck. I hated this, setting budgets for everything. Always thinking about what I don't have was depressing. As they say I learned to save for a rainy day. Its raining now work wise but not time wise. Using the extra hours available now but which will not be available when I work more, self education is me saving for the future.

With tiddlywiki specifically you may see me active here but I am not publishing plugins or editions. One reason for this is I am in a large skills acquisition phase and building rapid development tools. I am developing fundamental tools on top of tiddlywiki and building a large list of possible applications. At the same time you will see me participating in the development of tiddlywiki because I see where its limitations lay. I specifically remain in the user and designer space without starting to code JavaScript so that my skills are based on tiddlywiki out of the box.

I will one day publish more than code patterns for the community, if Mohammad has not already done it.

Tony

I'm not quite following this thread but based on the few posts I'm reading above, it seems you're looking for a use for TW in the crisis. Maybe this could give ideas?

Hi TT,
 I am afraid I do not follow you! These are small light weight awareness icons!

Possibly a time-card app for people working from home. I can imagine one using
Thomas Elmiger's list-reveal as a starting point.

Not avoiding tou TT-- small issue of a frieght train intervening-- at least it felt like a frieght train.  It should be another dat now that i'm eating and drinking, and I should be back on the computer.  I'm only on the computer for this message so I son't have the link but FactCheck.org had a article about testing history and developements in the us that gives insights.

Sadly I realized Joe Armstrong passed away on 20 Apr 2019


Ir seems the death was because of something with similar effects to Coronavirus!
