In this Tinderbox Meetup, we updated everyone on the opening of WinterFest 2024 (your opportunity to get discounts on artisanal software as well as on Becker’s Jan. ’25 5Cs+Tinderbox 101 PKM course).

Mark Anderson explains adding new notes to a Tinderbox file with Apple Script.

We then dove into a question that Win raised a few weeks ago: “When creating an academic course, how can you ensure that you’ve scheduled to teach one topic before another?”, i.e., in the general project management sense, “How do you manage a project’s predecessors and dependents?”. The meetup participants started with a blank Tinderbox file and got to work. We covered several topics, including:

  • Prototype management
  • Various forms of linking: link actions, parking lot, and linkTo action code
  • Attribute creation and management
  • Use of badges
  • Differences between rules, edicts, and one-time actions like stamps and link actions
  • Use of display expression
  • Automatically numbering items
  • Designators
  • OnAdd

We did not finish the predecessor and dependent work, but we got close, which is why this is a Part 1 session. The plan is to finish it up at the next meetup.
