[tahoe-dev] tiddly-wiki on Tahoe!

[zooko]

Folks:

Thanks to kind help from TiddlyWiki hacker FND, we now have the  
current stable release of TiddlyWiki running on Tahoe.

TiddlyWiki [1] is a wiki written entirely in JavaScript and executing  
entirely on the client side.  By combining TiddlyWiki for the front- 
end and Tahoe for the back-end, we have a new class of software --  
the Decentralized Web App.


Here's the current version of my klog, as stored in a TiddlyWIki on  
Tahoe:

http://testgrid.allmydata.org:8123/uri/URI:DIR2- 
RO:hgvn7nhforxhfxbx3nbej53qoi:yhbnnuxl4o2hr4sxuocoi735t6lcosdin72axkrcbo 
ulfslwbfwq/wiki.html

The new version produces RSS feed files, and stores backups.


Here's how to set up a TiddlyWiki On Tahoe for yourself:

1.  Get a TiddlyWiki instance with the HTTPSavingPlugin:

1.a.  If you already have a TiddlyWiki instance that you want to  
store on Tahoe, then import the HTTPSavingPlugin into it:

http://allmydata.org/source/tiddly_on_tahoe/trunk/tahoe_tiddly/ 
HTTPSavingPlugin.js

1.b.  If you don't already have a TiddlyWiki instance, you can get an  
empty one with the HTTPSavingPlugin already installed from here:

http://allmydata.org/source/tiddly_on_tahoe/trunk/tahoe_tiddly/ 
tw_empty.html

2.  Upload your tiddly wiki html file into a directory on a Tahoe  
grid. (If you don't already have a directory, press the "Create  
Directory!" button on http://testgrid.allmydata.org:8123 .)

Done!

Now to refer to your tiddly wiki, append the filename to your  
directory cap, so the full URL will be "http://testgrid.allmydata.org: 
8123/uri/$YOUR_DIRECTORY_CAP/tw_empty.html".  (You can rename the  
file from "tw_empty.html" to any other name if you want.)

Obviously if you want to share read-access to your wiki with someone  
while withholding write-access from them then you need to get the  
read-only capability to that directory and substitute that for the  
read-write cap.  Note that the URL to my klog that I posted at the  
beginning of this message has "URI:DIR2-RO" in it -- that URL gives  
read-access to my blog but a different URL (which is stored in my  
bookmarks in my web browser) gives write access.

Please let me know how it goes if you try using this!  :-)

Regards,

Zooko
