Porting a Java Save Funtion into PHP to host server side...

So I should say I am not coder, but I saw a way to take an open source project and make it better. Very curious if anyone would be willing to help?

So the source is a tiddlywiki project called tiddlydesktop. The link is here.

http://www.digitaldimsum.co.uk/wp-conte ... 4/202.html

Currently the save function is hidden somewhere in the java jumble of code. I am not sure how hard it would be, but if someone with more knowledge then I wouldn't mind advising.

Basically this stands as a personal wiki now, but if you where to pull the save function, port it into PHP code and host it on a server, would that not then make it accessible to multiple users?

Thanks in advance, this community seems pretty legit, hope I can help contribute over time.

Is a javascript code and not java, probably some Ajax is mixed there for saving the data.

And i am afraid i didn't understand you. You need more then an user to access same content or what?

yeh, basically want to make it so that more then one person can access the content, edit it, and save it.

hrm, maybe I am not describing it well enough, or not picking up on sarcasm or something haha.

Basically I'd like to know if it's possible to take that wiki (tiddlydesktop) and host it on a different server, i.e. my own web server, but make it so that my friends can come in and use it as well, and it would all save to the server.

Make more sense? If not I will try again haha.

so I have had a few people PM me, telling me it can in fact be done and that it would not be hard, i.e. would take a day or two maybe.

Question now, is anyone willing to help do this?
