I am not sure I will make it, perhaps in a follow-up one. If possible if
you can publish a recording after it would be appreciated.
This subject means a lot to me. If I may share these points in advance for
consideration.
- The provision of serial editing (one use after the other) through
check in and check out mechanisms, for all saver mechanism's. This would
be the quickest route to supporting multi-users/teams on tiddlywiki
- It is quite easy to change the filename of a saved tiddlywiki, say on
php and tw-reciever. it seems to be the save technology can already save
files to hosts. It seems to be we need to open this up to trusted users
with the appropriate credentials so for example
- A single file tiddlywiki could save the changes made by one user
only, in an independent file (delta backup). Then either the
- owner can import all user contributions and apply them to the
master copy,
- or users can recover their current state by loading their own
file of changes (delta backup) from the host ).
- or both
- Contention and overwrites can be handled by the wiki designer or
interactively.
- Designers could write information or logs to the host file system
from the tiddlywiki, acknowledging all permitted users have file update
rights. This would allow survey answers, to be saved, comments etc...
