How to upload a large existing wiki?

[elliott5]

This issue created from an original post on the TiddlyWiki google group by Dino, which contains some very fine diagrams and images.

Hi Elliot,

I've tested your script and it is working very well for my personal application.

I just need to ask you two things:

First, I manage a file with more than 2300 tiddlers. For using this personal archive, I would like to know:
Do I have to import and prepare the file with the 2300+ tiddlers before the upload (alternative 1)? Or do I have to prepare an empty file (with plugins) and import the 2300+ tiddlers after the upload and online (alternative 2)?

What could I do?

And second, I tried to manage this personal file online. When I try to access or reload the file I always receive the following message. And I have to wait some 20/30 seconds before use the online file.

Dont you know any (browser) local storage that could speed this access?

I would like to thank you for your valuable work.

Sincerely yours,

Dino

In answer to your questions Dino:

1. The 2300+ tiddlers:
   On the app engine, these tiddlers are stored in the "datastore", so they have to be uploaded and stored there. Sadly there is no code written yet to perform a bulk tiddler upload, so this probably makes the system unsuitable for your needs at the moment. I've added an issue (Add bulk tiddler upload #2) to note this missing feature.

2. Managing the HTML file:
   Unfortunately, you cannot change the TiddlyWiki HTML file on-line. To do this you must replace the index.html file in your copy of this repository. This is quite an involved process, as described by the "TiddlyWiki base image" section of README.md.

I'm afraid I don't know of any (browser) local storage that could speed access, although the NoteSelf project looks very interesting from that point-of-view.
