On the 'jQuery: "little applications as demonstration models for people to try and see some of the advantages of jQuery"' thread [1] Cory S made some comments and suggestions [2] about from the perspective of someone knowing little about html, css, javascript and jQuery, and about the problems on relying on help from the group and many TiddlyWiki help sites being 'quite old, and out-of-date'
FND has made some good points on 'Announcing Tiddlywiki 2.5.2' : "Perhaps that's due to it being a MediaWiki instance, so we might set up TiddlyWebWiki there at some point in the future if that's desired - but I don't think that alone would resolve the issue."[3] Wolfgang thought that a TiddlyWebWiki was a good idea and Jeremy thought "I think we're all a bit sad about the barriers to contribution on the mediawiki instance at tiddlywiki.org. And the dissonance between mediawiki and tiddlywiki is awkward."[4] Given that TiddlyWeb is close to a '1.0 release' [5] I would like to propose that we could experiment with a TiddlyWebWiki instance. This would be good for TiddlyWiki help and TiddlyWeb adoption. But FND is very wise to state that this alone will resolve the issue. This is a coordination issue in the first instance. Requests, suggestions, ideas and wishlists need to be collected in the same place. Starting this thread is an attempt to do this. I wonder if those interested in documentation could form a special interest group – simply by using a set of conventions for communication would do it e.g. posting discipline, perhaps some skype action?!? – to look at the task in an organized way. I think that: 1) incremental change can't really get us any further; 2) it is a good time for the community to make an attempt at optimising its self organisation; 3) in an open source community, the lead should come from community endeavor (ie it should not be dependent on funds from sponsors – in TiddlyWiki's case BT and Unamesa I see two steps toward better documentation. 1) find out what people want: they can post to this thread, (or needs can be collected on this thread?) 2) design a solution to be implemented on TiddlyWeb Alex [1] http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/7b248ad2d820b83f/458d18938b1c7854#458d18938b1c7854 [2] http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/msg/42e022937a91f83f [3] http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/msg/eee861fc76ea2007 [4] http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/msg/036f21bb6fdd0500 [5] http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlyweb/browse_thread/thread/a8532a32d181e937 [6] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
