Who wrote which bits?

1st January 2013
If you are reading LOCAL version of the manual (see them listed out at @tiddlymanuals) then you may want to know:

(a) Is this LOCALLY - CURATED material?
(b) Is this CENTRALLY - CURATED material?
(c) Who actually wrote this material?

This is one of the Comparing and Sharing functions that the TiddlyManual format offers.

(a) Is it LOCAL or CENTRAL?

If a page (Tiddler) is newly authored by a LOCAL team, then a small sub heading that will tell you this will appear beneath the main page heading.

If a page has been adapted from the original (i.e. the so-called 'AMBIT core content' [found at @ambit], authored and curated by the Anna Freud Centre) then a small sub-heading will appear beneath the main page title to announce this.

(b) Who actually wrote this?

  • Open the Show references and info panel on the tiddler.
  • Look at the Information column, and you will see "Edited by"... You can also click on the Revisions heading, too, to see if any other authors wrote or edited earlier versions of this tiddler.
  • You can also List LOCAL EDITS to the manual which reveals a list of all the LOCALLY-edited material.

(c) How do I compare page contents between manuals?

It is easy to compare and contrast pages ("Tiddlers") that have been adapted by different authors across different manuals.

These pages may have been customised by a local team, adapting (or adding) material in ways that improve the "fit" of what is being delivered to their local culture, in response to particular local problems, or to their a local service ecology, etc...

See the Elsewhere column in the Show references and info panel of any tiddler for this, or look at other ways in which Comparing and Sharing functions are available in the manual.
