[tw5] A TiddlyWiki for Dummies series ...

[Thomas Elmiger]

Hi

Interesting and important questions. Some thoughts. 

===

Beginnerʼs Guide: Saving

Beginner: That's what I am
Guide: That's what I need

===

How big could this get? 
- tiddlers on tiddlywiki.com 
- Beginnerʼs Guide Edition
- Video series
- ... 

===

Learning curve

1. Beginner => Beginnerʼs Guide
2. Advanced user => (?) tiddlywiki.com 
3. Developer => Developer Documentation (tiddlywiki.com/dev) 

===

How would we distribute this info in TW elements? 

Tag: BeginnersGuide
Title of wiki: Beginnerʼs Guide
Tiddler title: Chapter 1
Start of text field: !!! Saving
Caption: Saving
Description: Saving your wiki on a computer locally

===

Search: "beginner" produces only 2 results at the moment. One tiddler 
"Beginnerʼs Guide" would be enough. It could contain the table of contents 
(TOC) and/or a link to the edition. It could also serve as a sidebar tab. The 
toc would display captions not tiddler titles. 

===

Keep it simple! 

All the best, 
Thomas

[tw5] A TiddlyWiki for Dummies series ...

[S. S.]

So many have said TiddlyWiki *MUST HAVE THIS.*

So if it is wanted, *How should the series be named?*

Some suggestions:


An Introduction to WidgetsWidgets - An Introduction
An Intro to WikiText   
   Wikitext - an Intro

   Tiddlers for Beginners
GettingStarted - MacrosMacros - GettingStarted
Get Started with TemplatesTemplates - Get Started
A Guide to TagsTags - A Guide
Understanding FiltersFilters - Understanding


At this point - a decision needs to be made.
There was some "lively discussion" last month leading to the above results: 
Here 


It's difficult to decide; there are many who have experience.
If we can't decide, we won't have this any-time soon!

I search for documentation multiple times a day.
For reasons stated in the "lively discussion" my preference is:
An Introduction to . . . ( or )  An Intro to . . . 

Main reason why: Alpha sorting when searching brings "*An*" near the top of 
the list.

What's yours - and if possible, why?

P.S. Jeremy has an opinion different from mine. If his suggestion is to be 
taken, my choice would be in the form: Tiddlers for Beginners
