Harmonize what is possible between FederationCore and TWederBob

[twMat]

My hope is to create a common UI for both of these, so it would simplify if

• the fields that the two systems use are titled identically when possible
• "bundles" (FederationCore) and "previews" (TWederBob) could be in the same format - ideally both as separate tiddlers because it is easier to work with than the bundled, all-in-one-tid, variant.

There may be other things beyond these two aspects that could also be harmonized but none that I can think of right now.

For the fields, would it be of use if I specified the matching ones that could use the same name?

Bundled tiddlers are an important safety feature. Unpacking the bundles in the final application is much simpler than the additional checks needed if we import raw tiddlers.

Past that, the FederationCore plugin is designed to be extensible, people can create their own handlers for incoming bundles that automatically unpack them but I am not putting things something that unsafe into the core.

[twMat]

So is it not the same safety issue for TWederBob then?

[twMat]

The request is mainly that it's the same handling in both systems.

The big difference is that there was about 3 years between making one and the other. The back-end reason for the difference is that this version was slightly easier to handle this way and TWederBob uses the same backend as the wiki syncing in Bob which is done tiddler by tiddler.

They can both give.the.same output, but in either case that is controlled by.the handler function used and.they can be.changed however you want.

OK, thanks.

[twMat]

Oh, and the fields - any thoughts?

I am not certain what you are referring to with the fields, but I agree that things should be consistent.
