TiddlySpace is a higher-level web app, building on TiddlyWeb, to make it easy for folks to spin off new multi-user (or single-user) TiddlyWiki instances. This is really the most important piece, and the one everything’s been leading up to, when it comes to Osmosoft’s mission to get all manner of web apps running inside the enterprise, and will hopefully be just as useful for other enterprises as well as ad hoc groups working on the broader internet. With TiddlySpace, you have an application running at http://TiddlyPocketBook.TiddlySpace.com for example. You click a “clone” button, type in “CameraGuide”, and suddenly you have a clone of that web app running at http://CameraGuide.TiddlySpace.com. The neat thing is that the new space has copies of all the pocketbook tiddlers, which you can happily hack. The application tiddlers are “copied by reference” from a master application space, say http://TiddlyPocketBookApp.TiddlySpace.com, so you will inherit any future changes made to the application. All this sounds complicated, but will be seamless to the user, and is also easy for us to implement while building TiddlySpace, thanks to TiddlyWebs’ flexible bags and recipes model for containment of tiddlers. (See my earlier discussion too.) Pretty much all of TiddlySpace is driven by client-side code TiddlyWiki plugins, connecting to the TiddlyWeb server.
