I wonder if it would be possible to fund the writing of the book through Kickstarter? I've have now set up a project on Kickstarter [1] Its something I haven't done before and clearly writing the definitive guide is beyond my capabilities.

Re: [tw] Re: Business Thought [was: Important Message from Eric]
The link didn't work for me, even after registering. This is a very exciting idea. I guess the big question is who is actually going to be the principal writer or editor of the work. My focus has got to be ongoing development work, and so it can't be me. But I'm in a good position to provide help and support to the main author, and of course can help track down definitive answers about the code.

Re: [tw] Re: Business Thought [was: Important Message from Eric]
Hi Jeremy, The link doesn't work for me now ;) I'll investigate Kickstarter might be examining the proposal. I submitted it in MTC style, but there might some regulations they enforce. WRT principal editor: all suggestions are welcome. It *is* a big question ... and an interesting one to the world of organization theorists as well as TW fans. I think the key point is that there has to be some payment involved so that proper chunks of time from day jobs can allocated to the task. I wonder if anyone interested in payed work might want to contact me off list with some idea of the kind day rates they would require to lend their full attention to the project. There also could be a business model where contributors gain a share if the IP and future sales. Suggestions? best wishes ALex On 16 January 2012 09:19, Jeremy Ruston jeremy.rus...@gmail.com wrote: The link didn't work for me, even after registering. This is a very exciting idea.

[tw] Re: Kindle Export
Ok, so I think the most effective way for my purposes is a mixture of the snapshot plugin and a macro. The process will work something like this: --Obviously write Tiddlers --Create a tiddler (for our purposes we'll call it Compilation 1) --within the tiddler add excerpts and full articles using a macro. (the macro would add some magic formatting to convert the titles of each of the sections into anchors and each [[page]] link and WikiWord into an internal link) --use snapshot to export the data --and a batch file to do some text processing and turn it into a .mobi (or I'll leave it as html, I havent decided) I wouldn't get everything I wanted, but I'd get pretty darn close. it would give me anchor links for whatever I add to the compilation which will work in both html and mobi I did see somewhere that someone made a feature request for something like this, but it did not seem recent, and I'm guessing that the author isn't going to get on that any time soon On Jan 14, 6:41 pm, DanielF847 danielf...@gmail.com wrote: I have the kindle dx. and I have been able to open the empty.html file, but nothing displays, I've enabled javascript and still can't get it to work, also the web browser is slow. I don't care about editing. Ideally, I would like to just export my TW before a test or something and then use the kindle to study. Just in case anyone else is looking, the kindles (not including the kindle 1) can access local html content. the document root can be found at: file:mnt/us/documents/ there are 4 slashes, I assume, because it uses a fhs style file structure. so file: would be root. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.

[tw] Re: Coretweak: 890 add conditional test to tiddler macro for my use case ?
I solved my problem using a forEachTiddler-macro to check on the date
in the title: it definitely is not the clean solution I was looking
for, but it gives the results as needed...
tiddler ShowValue with:{{
txt =;
var vandaag = new Date();
for (var teller=0;teller90;teller++) {
txt += forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.title.contains(\+vandaag.formatString(' DD mmm YY')+\)'
write '\- [[\+tiddler.title+\]]\\n\' +;
vandaag.setDate(vandaag.getDate()-1);
}
result = txt;
}}
I am sure there must be a more simple solution to check whether a
title contains a certain string -- since fET can do it -- but I could
not find the correct syntax.
This workaround is surely not the fastest way, but it works ... ;-)

Kriss' questions seems similar but it really isn't.
In fact, his solution has what I would call design flaws which are:
I would not identify tiddlers by their names. Instead, I would use
tagging to retrieve lists sorted by date of tiddlers tagged, say
'Journal', or 'Meeting'... not only, because I would like the liberty
to prepend a few key words after a tiddler whose name starts with a
date, e.g.:
2011.11.04 Posted Question In Google Groups
Of course, one could split those strings, but that might turn out
difficult if the format contained named dates.
Anyhow, to answer Kriss post here, as it hadn't been answered at his
topic:
groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/
121884cf0cef5ebf
Let's call his functional tiddler [[Diary]]:
tiddler show with:{{
var tid, out = '',
fmt = 'DD mmm YY';
oneday = 24*60*60*1000,
d = t1 = new Date(),
t0 = t1 - parseInt('$1')*oneday;
while(d t0){
d = d - oneday;
tid = new Date(d).formatString(fmt);
if(store.tiddlerExists(tid))
out += '*[[' + tid + ']]\n';
}
out;
}}
And then he could place something like this in another tiddler...
My last 7 days:
tiddler Diary with:7
However, this doesn't check on any tags and you would have to put your
meeting notes into your journal tiddlers, as you could (obviously)
only have one tiddler per day, and it doesn't take care of any date
before y2k, etc, etc...
So, I suggest for a review like the one Kriss wants to do, you would
either use the list macro or something
like...http://tobibeer.tiddlyspace.com/#Filtr

It kills my soul to shut down tiddly and see all I've written go to the digital graveyard. Can you explain exactly how you are using TW? The subject of your message suggests that you are opening a TW document that is posted on line (i.e., accessed via http://). The description above suggests that you are trying to use Chrome's native filesave handling (i.e, as html) to save the document locally. However, this is not how TW works. The basic usage paradigm is that you *first* download a copy of TW onto your local filesystem, and then open the *local* copy and edit. When you are satisfied with your changes, you must use the TW sidebar command save changes to re- write the TW file. You *cannot* use the browser's filesave command, as that does not have access to the current run-time data for the tiddlers you've created/modified during the session. If you *do* want to use and edit TW online, there are several solutions available (tiddlyspot, tiddlyspace, giewiki, etc.). These solutions use server-side scripts, combined with TW plugins, that allow you to edit/save tiddler changes directly to an online TW document, without requiring any local file at all. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios TiddlyTools needs YOUR financial support...

[tw] Re: Kindle Export
Well, as you noticed, that author was indeed me... ;-) http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/5898c8eb4c72cdb7 And you're right, I could perhaps get you closer to your goal. Although, for now... I am not much familiar with .mobi, but it looks like creating one from html should be straight forward. While I can't remember if Snapshot plugin can do that, it might be better to have each tiddler exported in the desired sequence as files named sequentially. To use jquery and create links to these indexed files seems more straight forward than to create those anchors. I remember that the process was quite tough. I don't know how good your coding skills are, or your German... but the code that provided for the mentioned flat file... http://therapie-sport.de/index2.html ...can be found here... http://therapie-sport.de/#Export In the case of. mobi it seems the right thing to strip all page elements that are not tiddlers, e.g. sidebars, even headers. tb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.
