Wiktionary

Earlier this summer I was playing around with Tiddlywiki and after a few hours of experimentation I came up with Wiktionary, a wiki of web technology terms which I just posted to the MEdTech Labs site.

Although I was impressed with the original and lightweight version of TiddlyWiki, I choose to implement Wiktionary using MyWiki, a server-side offshot of TiddlyWiki. Wiktionary stores the definitions as pieces of mircocontent (or tiddlers) just like TiddlyWiki does but writes the data to a file on the server as opposed to a local HTML file. This allows for the wiki to persist over time and supports multiple contributions, all accomplished without the overhead of a database or a single page refresh.

Wiktionary and MyWiki are just two of many adaptations of the ever versatile TiddlyWiki. For more information on adaptations to TiddlyWiki, check out TiddlyWiki Mania.
