Ting goes here

ma: hi xm, thanks for the questions. Many they are. As wikis … or islands in Greece ;)

Community-wiki is a small community. Sometimes it collapses for a while, then it’s back again. It’s pretty sure back, always. For imaging how it would be with more people I kinda withdrew from community- wiki and started in solitude on odd-wiki. Later Sam implemented the obm, kabo and eArtwiki-hive where I could experiment with more possibilties. I’ve been repeating what I did with every new wiki, making small refinements which I applied to the wikis I already had started. I needed all these wikis to make sure. Apart: for showing about interaction between units you need units. Not just any units but such that interact as you imagine. Even if they’re ghosttowns.

So why not “centralize” it all in a wiki-net?

Planet must be pretty close, I still didn’t find the time to look at it propperly. I’m pretty idea-driven, there’s few time for “new” stuff. What I (hardly) understood is already so amazing and the possibilities are sheer endless. I’m therefore a bit shy towards too much new stuff. Planet is top of the list for my next “news” (If twitter doesn’t blow up my noodles before).

ma: moin xma.

A perfect collab-editor works on all platform, is free soft, has a history, probably has - like imaginable with the chat function in gobby - a level plugged into irc. Or even into twitter? … hm.
Tweets from tings would be cool - ting2twitter. Commonly formulate the 120 characters, ok for everybody? Zoosch! Off goes the ting-tweet. TheSheep had a web-preview for the tings running, updating every 60 seconds. You could read the entire ting on a web-site without having the client installed. Also twitter2ting - messages from outsides, people following the web preview leaving twitter messages to the ting - is imaginable.

ma: xma, try to log out and back in, that helps sometimes.

Collab-editors:

MoonEdit, proprietary, has a cool slider history, no mac version, reliable, doubleclick the 200 and something Kb win.exe on windows.

Gobby:

It seems this idea has influenced the writing of this book. I have read many other stories from people using twitter to write books.

xm : So I also think twitter could be used (as a test) for tings. Maybe a candidate to test for our next ting ?

ma: I’d like to experiment with both, also irc could be fruitful. People are more long-term connected and being able to jump into a ting from a lively irc conversation could be awesome.

xm: I would have thought of the XMPP protocol via Jabber than IRC. By the way, I am pretty sure there is a project of a JEP for collaborative works. It would be nice to experiment with this one too.

ma: K, soccermatch started. Check later, we can go on in some hours, if you wanna watch it.

Just posted on twitter:

Idea during the ting: twitter2ting <=> ting2twitter

That could be a way to attract more people to tings actually.

makes 12 “2”‘s => ?? wiki2twitter, wiki2ting, wiki2irc, etc. :)

You added jabber, I agree. I don’t know about all the fancy techniques, I see things used sometimes. Not sure about if it’s more than 4 - rather 3 should do. It would work with the first three alone, but with all of them it’s more fun: irc, jabber. And I saw substantial soul on irc at least. Soul counts.

As we are advancing in time the ground we’re moving on indeed get’s more and more soupish.


Thanks for tinging. Next day there was more on http://www.communitywiki.org/de/Twitter2Wiki
