Great post Måns! I agree that the links and help should be refresh. Personally I liked the original TW page before the revamp, which didn't try and teach you about it while you looked at it. It had charm in that it was written by Jeremy, the TW creator. I liked that. Jeremy also wrote something about 'encouraging a new type of writing', while the narrative of the current page is from a technical perspective.
Come on Jerm, lets have you re-write the page? Alex ps I love the way of your English. Its it taking on a TiddlyWiki syntax? For example "beforementioned" , "welldocumented and selfdocumenting" , "jqueryrewriting" : 2009/6/24 Måns <[email protected]>: > > It's great to have upgrades to a program with so much devellopment and > involvement going on.
