The Wiki-D System

an authoring system for dyslexics


Main idea

  • D is for dyslexia (dyslexics easily drown in a rising sea of their own text)
  • Insired by Tiddlywiki - the idea is to conceal a growing body of text behind a single page

  • Jonny designed a reader-sensitive version-change display methods"

  • It would behave as a writer's template (4-fold...author / reader / context / proposition - and all the 6 links, etc.) to reflect the system I proposed in my paper (external link)
  • Could tikiwiki be used to do a similar job?
