Today we look at TiddlyDocs, a product that's being used in production by BT people and external partners. A written signature still has legal significance, so printed documents have their place in this new world of enterprise wikis, hence TiddlyDocs. It's a product that lets co-workers collaborate in wiki-like ways on a linear document that will ultimately be printed out and signed off. Sections can be marked according to completion status and owner, and contributors can leave comments below each section.
TiddlyWiki is a good example of TiddlyVerse reuse. The first prototype was built in two weeks, as developer Simon McManus mostly assembled and configured existing component. Assignment of sections to individuals was performed using custom tiddler fields and dropdown controls borrowed from TeamTasks. Comments below each section was powered by the Comments Plugin. The draggable contents tree was incorporated from a generic jQuery library. TiddlyDocs is running behind BT's firewall, with custom login procedure plugged into TiddlyWeb's flexible authentication mechanism, to provide single-sign on for BT users.
You can also see Matt Lucht, the internal BT customer for TiddlyDocs, talk about his experience engaging with Osmosoft.
