SRD rules in TiddlyWiki Format?

[smootrk]

Has anyone produced a comprehensive SRD done in TiddlyWiki format? or a similar Wiki type format.
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/

I want a baseline copy to use for myself, that I can make my own modifications (adding/removing classes, races, feats, etc. changing things willy-nilly). The TiddlyWiki is fine for me, as this is not a hosted-website sort of thing that I want to run... I will just share my file with my players. If there are true wiki options, where I can make things completely private, it would be alright as well (as I am not looking to distribute a set of rules openly, and having the WotC Cops knocking at my door).

Anyone seen something?

I don't think so. Sounds like a good idea, though.

Hrmm... not hyperlinked (Tiddly's best thiggamajig), and not complete, and a year-and-a-half since its last update.

So... anybody wanna start a new one?

That was the first thing I thought when I looked at that site... old/incomplete. A nice start, but unfinished. I also do not like the weird interface on the side menu... weird scrolling necessary to browse.

Crafting the SRD in this format is what I was trying to bypass.
I was wanting to jump right into my own Mod of the rules.

I've been wanting a nice, wiki-based SRD that I can save to my hard drive and screw with to my heart's content for a long, long time. I don't think TiddlyWiki would be my favored format; its whole looks-like-some-kind-of-dynamic-blog interface is kinda weird and annoying to me.

Personally, I'd love a MediaWiki SRD, because I already spend a lot of time editing Wikipedia, so I already know the syntax. The trouble is, I don't think MediaWiki can run off of a local hard drive. Or, if it can, it's not a single, convenient file.

There's always Wiki on a Stick, though. That's a single-file personal wiki intended to be carted around on a USB stick. It works okay, and isn't as offputting as TiddlyWiki, but I'm not really sold on it, yet. I think I really want something that uses the MediaWiki syntax, and/or has some kind of export feature, so that I can use the content elsewhere.

Lately, I've been screwing around a bit with BluWiki, a free, public, MediaWiki-based wikifarm. You don't even need to register an account in order to start a new wiki (of course, that kinda bothers me, because it sounds really vulnerable to spam). The only think I've done with it so far is a half-finished directory of D&D base classes. Could be pretty handy to have around, but I haven't really got the time to fill it out properly.

I wonder if there's any wiki out there that could import files from d20SRD.org and render them into working wiki articles. That would seriously be great. Or else, a Web-based wiki that can be worked on as a community project--to get the SRD up and working--but then exported to individual users machines to let them customize it as they see fit. Anyone ever seen anything like that?

I've gotten as far as a non hyperlinked TW including everything from the beginning to Equipment. At that point, I dropped it and just use the stuff at systemreferencedocuments.org, which is already hyperlinked.

That said, my Homebrew Campaign notebook uses TW, and has links to everything just about everywhere. Take a look here.

Probably be pretty easy to accomplish given how well indexed d20srd.org has become over time. In essence all you would do is convert a text file over to another format. I don't know how Wiki's handle their indexing as in if they just do a simple search or an established master index but in either case shouldn't take much to apply it to the Wiki logic.

Unfortunately, wikis have their own markup languages, completely different from HTML. I wonder, though, if I could just get the whole pile of d20SRD.org files. That'd work fine for me. I can edit HTML as easily as I can edit a wiki...

There's one copy of the SRD in MediaWiki format here:
http://www.d20db.com/Main_Page

And one here:
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

You can export the pages and import them into your own MediaWiki. I'm slowly making my own D&D wiki, using these pages as my base and adding content from other books I own. I use the WOS Portable software to make my own MediaWiki on a stick.
