@Eric - your input is appreciated, thank you! @Jed- a demo is great news!
@everyone Having now read (even more) in the archives, I conclude there just is no decent solution yet. There are two less-than-satisfying solutions suggested; 1) Find external service that converts from whatever-format-you-have into JSON. In my case CSV to JSON. I did find this CSV conversions <http://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-json.htm> service which looks very nice. They also provide a bunch of other conversion alternatives with CSV on one side (see left menu there) and, fyi, also a sister site with some JSON conversions <http://convertjson.com>. To use this there are a bunch of parameters to set so I have not yet dived (dove? doven? dividaded?) into it. Some quick attempts seem to generate a JSON but it takes all existing fields from all tiddlers and assumes they are all valid for all tiddlers. In other words I suspect you'd get tiddlers with loads of empty extra fields. 2) The other "solution" is explained by Richard Smith here <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/E4n5ss-An30/bZjwHxJ3gGcJ>+ two posts down there. Basically, you manually add extra columns in your CSV file in a spreadsheet and put in JSON characters/delimiters. Then paste into a text file. Then drag this textfile into TW. ...so an in-house solution, even if it involves some copy pasting *inside tiddlers* would definitely be welcome. I can think of two cases why it is important with a decent solution: 1) It is reasonable to expect newcomers to TW to want to - or even see it as a precondition for trying TW out - to be able to import data from previous systems. 2) I believe we can create editions (or "applications" as I'd prefer to call them) that attracts people to try out TW where a big part of the appeal is *in the content*. Currently, most TW solutions are "merely" an empty tool, but I think we can reach more/other people if we provide a tool with also valuable content. Ok, better stop twaddling. I have a site for that. Anyway, really hoping for some decent solution on this. Thanks guys <:-) <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
