[t2t] A new "external" addon for txt2tags

[David Young]

Hi all,

I'm making some progress with the tiddlywiki plugin for parsing the
txt2tags format. It is by no means complete, but I'll be ready to
make it available to other users soon. What's the best method for
releasing this code?

A plugin for tiddlywiki is just a specially-formatted wiki page, so I
can provide the raw txt and users would just copy-paste the text into
a tiddlywiki page. Alternatively I could just download the "empty"
tiddlywiki and add the plugin myself. This would be easier for users
wanting a fresh tiddlywiki pre-configured to use txt2tags, but even an
"empty" tiddlywiki file is ~350 kilobytes, if code footprint is a
concern at all.

There's also licensing. Tiddlywiki itself is BSD licensed (does this
mean it can't be included in txt2tags?). I haven't decided on the
license I want for my plugin... I don't particularly care, as it can't
really be distributed without it's source and it's just a page or
javascript. Any suggestions for me to use? I could use GPL like
txt2tags does.

Hello,

I'm working on a wiki for txt2tags where we could host this kind of thing:
http://wiki.txt2tags.org/index.php/Main/Cookbook

It should be possible for you to create a new page, attach your work to it, and link it on the cookbook page. I hope to add more instruction about this soon.

If you want to get other people improve your plugin, you can also put it on a google code project.

About the license, I think both bsd or gnu gpl should be ok.

Hello David,

Nice news, thanks for your time and welcome to the team!

You can do as Eric said to create a home for your creation. For the
code, I suggest the txt2tags SVN. I've added you as a commiter, so you
can submit your work under the "extras" directory. Please tell me if
you need some help in SVN usage.

The only big difference in BSD and GPL is that BSD allows derivative
closed-source works. But if you're not too concerned about it, just
stick with GPL as the rest of the project.

I think the raw txt is the best. It's not hard to install the plugin
in tiddlywiki, so let the user do it. Another reason is that this way
you don't need to worry about licensing and keeping your tiddlywiki
copy updated with the official.
