[tw5] Re: Query: Looking for Example Wiki of Software Documentation
Tx all! Very interesting! TonyM, I understand your point. For me It was simply helpful to know "restore" invokes the wrong ideas. You are right. After reflection, I thought, looking back, that, basically, Marks' idea to name the tool "Polly" was a great idea! Its accurate and evocative. I also think our use of "Parrot", for one of her functions, makes very good intuitive sense, at least in English. So, given that our Polly bird has given us a lot I looked more into Bird Language to see if there are additional words that might work ... Polly "restore" is a kind of "GLEANING / GLEAN" birds ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleaning_(birds)) and humans do ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleaning). Its an activity of finding and making your own. Its perhaps not so well known, though an entire movie was made about it ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZF3VRGgxTU, a serious French activity of reclamation. And there is "*ROOST/ROOSTING*", which is the resting place, a home where *a bird Returns to* ... Polly ROOSTS wiki? This is a common term that conveys, well, I think, a home destination wiki return to. I think it is worth attention. This is also the related "PERCH/PERCHING". Wikis are perches of writing and ideas taht wander into download but find again their perch with Polly's help. There are other Bird Terms that are good but they have other meanings too that unfortunately may confuse the issue, including BROOD, NEST & HOME. And much as I love NIDICOLOUS (Polly feeds the Wiki) I can't see it working. Yours in thought TT > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

My description was only meant to describe. You have a name Polly so may I suggest the most direct name.

It's kind of doing the opposite of these. So maybe Unstash or Unstasher (It's unstashing from downloads back to the original dir.)

(1) on computers associated with recovery from failure; (2) has resonances with diseases and general ennui--"he restored himself at the goat farm" HOWEVER, we need ONE word to replace it, not a sentence. And one that sums up its meaning. "Restore" is accurate, so what is a good synonym for it? The closest understandable alternative single word I can think of is " *REINSTATE*".

Whatever is used I think it should be *one* word, not a mutli-word description.

Josiah I think we need an edition for publishing and demos of people plugins and macros. This could be extended to support software in general. If I may take this opportunity to point out the idea with Polly to use a restore method to build browser independant saving is sheer genius. However to use "restore" as a way to describe it is from my perspective not good. Why ? Because despite all the backups available to me I rarely ever need to restore. On the surface this makes Polly look like something I am unlikely to use, and this shortchanges what Polly can do. Perhaps saving wikis from any browser without add-ons or server installs is a better description. In Polly s design restore is effectively how one saves. So I suggest calling it save and keep the word restore for the technical summary. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
