Hi Eric,
Sorry for the lack of response. I don't have much time for maintaining mGSD any more, (no big news there). Glad to see it's still useful though and I think it's cool you're maintaining it and fixing it for TiddlySpace.
Recently I've been looking at a TW5 rewrite by @roma0104 callsed GSD5. Have you seen it?
Perhaps we can talk about updating the mGSD website at some point, at least to provide some current information for users.
Cheers,
Simon.
Hi Simon, no worries!
I found @roma0104's TW5 app after I'd already done some maintenance work on mGSD. It looks really interesting, at the very least as a proof and template for making something like mGSD within TW5. Previously I hadn't really looked at TW5 closely and had been more focused on the idea of making a SPA for TiddlyWeb.
My main concern with GSD5 is that it uses a different representation of the data model - one field per semantic relationship rather than "everything is a tag" as in original mGSD. I really like the simplicity of the mGSD representation, and want to make something which is bidirectionally-compatible with data created using mGSD (at least until the new product is complete enough to replace mGSD, then backwards-compatibility is enough).
Also just want an excuse to pour through TWC code and understand how it works before closing that door forever :cry:
I know TW5 can read TWC tiddlers (including their tags), and by default displays a warning. Not sure yet if the warning can be disabled and if it can write them back out, but I don't see why not.
I'm currently doing some experimentation with @cdent's tank to see if I can get mGSD working well there. Once things are stabilized and I'm satisfied with the documentation I was thinking to send out an email announce to the lists.
