Hi everybody, OK, although I am really new to all this TW world, and I have been "annoying" the group with several questions (always timely and usefully answered by the TW masters, I must say), I thought it was my time to make some contribution to the TW family, taking profit of my professional background, but always considering my technical limitations.
I don't know if I already said somewhere else here that I am lawyer, based in Spain (so, English is not my mother tongue, and neither is Javascript). Since the very beginning that I came accross TW, I thought it could be a great tool to manage legal information, such as laws, resolutions, decrees, rules and court decisions... to have a personal file with all this type of information basic for lawyers, attorneys, law students, etc. I have been trying to give a chance to Notestorm and TW Notes, for this task, to manage my collection of regulations and court decisions, but since those are not particularly oriented for legal information I have been therefore trying to mount a TW file (from the empty file provided at tiddlywiki.com, and adding certain plugins I found interesting), to create a file that seeks to work as a type of Legal Code of Regulations and Court Decisions, making it easy to collect the information by means of a form, and then allowing the user to present a list of the laws and court decisions, ordered by date or topic. My goal and idea here is to make something more for the usage of a particular person (lawyer, attorney, law student) to follow and stay up to date with the regulations and selected court decisions relating to a particular legal topic or area (e.g. IP law, commercial law, etc.). I am not trying to include the whole legal system of a country inside a TW, which I think would be nearly impossible (and there are already projects seeking this, such as [Jurispedia | http://www.jurispedia.org]). With all that in mind, I have created tiddLEGAL, which I have uploaded for your revision, help and consideration at http://tiddlegal.tiddlyspot.com/ The file is based on the ForEachTiddlerPlugin by abego Software, and inspired in the way that Bibblywiki works. In the DefaultTiddlers you will be able to see a longer explanation of what I am seeking with tiddLEGAL and its purpose. Due to my technical limitations, at this moment, I am a little stucked and lost with the next steps to finalize the first useful version of tiddLEGAL (for example, I cannot find a way to make the sort regulations by date work). You may also find a ToDo list in http://tiddlegal.tiddlyspot.com/ , with things I need to change or tweak, and for which I need some input. Thus, I would be grateful to receive comments and suggestions from all of you guys. Also, I would very much appreciate it if I could find some technical TW master interested in collaborating to finalize this project, in order to make it available for everybody to use. Please let me know what you think about tiddLEGAL and do contact me if you can help me with any of the points pending in my ToDo list, or if you want to collaborate... or if I can also be of any help to anybody.
