What

  1. To have an offline version of Tiki to replace WebHelp
    • This could now be done partially with Slideshow in Tiki7 for one page. If we add Slideshow from structure, we'll get this as well.
  2. Have offline access to the full Tiki, with a way to edit offline and sync back changes when going back online

Options

USB Key

You can easily make a USB Tiki. If sync is required, you'll need to sync changes manually or with the Communication Center.

E-mail copy

A current option is to Watch all pages and thus, over time, you'll have a full offline copy in your IMAP inbox, with searching capability. By setting up Mail-in, updates could be done offline, and merged back in when you go back online, without any automatic conflict management.

  • This should be documented at http://doc.tiki.org/Offline with an alias of http://doc.tiki.org/Unplugged (or vice versa)
  • Some improvements could be made
    • Outgoing email should be in a format, that I can just click reply and it's in the the right format
      • Currently watches send what has changed (the diff) at the top and then, a full copy of the latest content. So Mail-in would have to know to ignore the diff and only take the new text
    • Since mail clients add a ">" when you click reply, perhaps it should be a forward
      • Since it's in address book, it's not too bad
    • There could be a button "Send a copy of this page, all pages in this (these) categories via email"
    • Conflict detection
      • Don't try to resolve because that's tricky but just an e-mail warning to two editors when a conflict is detected and they can manually resolve.

HTML5

An option for the future is to implement HTML5 offline

HTML5 Offline version of a structure

So we have an offline book.

TiddlyWiki

Another option is to implement something like MediaWiki Unplugged, or Socialtext which use TiddlyWiki.

[11:30] You have joined #tiddlywiki [11:30] The topic is 'http://www.tiddlywiki.com | http://www.tiddlywiki.org | this channel is being logged by IRSeek (http://www.irseek.com)' (set by Ace_NoOne on June 26, 2008 10:49:20 AM) [11:31] marclaporte: Hi everyone! This is Marc from #tikiwiki. [11:31] marclaporte: I am wondering if there are any examples of "classic" wiki engines (MediaWiki, Twiki, etc.) that have an export to Tiddly for offline use? [11:32] marclaporte: We have an offline export (for use on CDs, etc) but it's not so good. We are thinking of removing it. [11:33] marclaporte: But it would be nice to instead replace it with something fun & useful. [11:34] Jermolene: socialtext has a tiddlywiki export option, they call it "Socialtext Unplugged" [11:34] Jermolene: hi marc, btw! [11:34] Jermolene: for mediawiki, we've built a tiddlywiki that can suck down and display mediawiki content: http://mediawikiunplugged.com/ [11:35] marclaporte: tks [11:36] marclaporte: Unrelated question: Anyone from here going to Florida for upcoming WikiSym? [11:37] marclaporte: http://mediawikiunplugged.com/ is pretty much what I had in mind!! [11:40] Jermolene: sadly we're not sending anyone to wikisym this year [11:40] Jermolene: or at least I mean Osmosoft isn't sending anyone [11:40] Jermolene: hopefully there'll be the odd tiddlywiki user there :) [11:40] marclaporte: I hope so! I'll have a bunch of questions :-) [11:40] tracmonitor: [mahemoff] Changeset [10220]: trails - made carousel next and prev select next and prev link, as user ... http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/changeset/10220 [11:40] tracmonitor: [cdent] Ticket #1116 ([TiddlyWeb] unescaped slashes in usernames) closed http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ticket/1116#comment:1 [11:42] cdent: marclaporte: i haven't decided about wikisym [11:42] cdent: maybe [11:42] Jermolene: marclaporte: do ask here, or our google group, or email me on jeremy (at) osmosoft (dot) com [11:44] marclaporte: ok, I will read up first. What I am looking for is code/procedure to convert MediaWiki data to a suitable format for Tiddly. MediaWiki is great because it's PHP (like TikiWiki). Clicking around, I found a link to http://www.martinswiki.com/#MediaWikiAdaptorPlugin but it seems currently online. Is this the URL I should check again later? [11:46] marclaporte: and this is empty: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/How_do_I_import_MediaWiki_content_into_a_TiddlyWiki%3F [11:47] FND: marclaporte: http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/MartinBudden/ has adaptors and formatters [11:48] marclaporte: Short term goal would be to export only, but perhaps later, we could give it a shot to be able to sync back changes, like SocialText [11:48] FND: this has a list of adaptors: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Server_Adaptor_Mechanism [11:48] marclaporte: Martin has many exporters. Beautiful! [12:05] bengillies has disconnected [12:07] tracmonitor: [psd] Changeset [10221]: GITSCOB - smaller mono image http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/changeset/10221 [12:08] marclaporte: The page "Get MediaWiki Content" on http://mediawikiunplugged.com/ replies: "You cannot import into a read-only TiddlyWiki file. Try opening it from a file:// URL" [12:10] Jermolene: yeah you need to download the html file and run it from a file:// URI [12:10] Jermolene: when a tiddlywiki is served over http it loses the editting capability [12:10] Jermolene: unless you use a serverside variant such as cctiddly or tiddlyweb [12:11] FND has disconnected: "Out" [12:12] marclaporte: ok, I see
