Probably shouldn't be speaking up here. I'm literally just a user.  
Nevertheless, this concerns me. Some pretty important TiddlyWiki folks  
have spoken up. I hope they will be listened to.

The wisdom of this and everything following it in Morris' post is  
transparent -- at least to me, who should not count for much, but  
altogether in the end we count for a lot.

I would add one other thing that I think someone -- Wolfgang? -- who  
has more right to speak up than me -- the lack of documentation. The  
fact that an application like TiddlyWiki should have been around so  
long without systematic documentation of features, components,  
guidance regarding customization, etc., etc., is a bit on the  
ridiculous side. E.g., What exactly does a StyleSheet control? How's  
it related to PageTemplate? And on and on and on.

I'm far from being one of the more intensive users, especially when it  
comes to customization. My needs are simple and easily met with  
existing capabilities. But I've been here a couple years, and the fact  
that whenever I want to do almost anything I have ask people to help  
me, that there is no reference I can go to to get a sense of how to  
start is, again, well, ridiculous.
