I'm struggling to create a system that allows you to create enriched directories of publications that work online and offline. Much of the filtering and searching that I can do online with PHP, etc. isn't an option for a folder full of publications on someone's thumb drive. So I thought using TiddlyWiki might provide an option.
The system should be able to do the following: 1. Read and display the contents of a directory in a TiddlyWiki. 2. Extract metadata from each document and display it with the document name and link. 3. Allow grouping of publications by tags. 4. Allow searching. Originally i thought you should be able to have a TiddlyWiki that loaded each document's metadata into a separate tiddler every time you opened it. But it would also be nice to be able to add metadata to a document and then save it back to the metadata of the file. Example: In Mozambique we have publications for 12 different langauges. They are mostly PDFs. They have keywords like: literacy, linguistics, Scripture, and development. Since new publications appear and old ones are changed, it would be nice to have a tiddlywiki that just sits in each of the 12 language directories and updates itself every time you open it. We want to share these pubications online but also on a CD-ROM or by copying a folder to someone's thumb drive. Any ideas on how or whether this might work would be VERY appreciated.
