Hi,

# The Goal and big question:

* a simple way for naive and casual users to save their tiddlywiki (again 
and again)*


I read this thread with much interest. In my opinium there is still one big 
aspect, which should be mainly considered. As a casual and non-technical 
user of tiddlywiki and as a teacher, who wants to show the students at 
school something with tiddlywiki I want to say:

The easiest way to use a tiddlywiki is to double-click on a file with a 
tiddlywiki in it. I doesn't matter which ending this file has. If it is 
"html", "tw" or something different. If the user can simply click on it and 
it opens in a way which makes it possible to use it without struggling with 
the saving mechanism.

This works with the so called hta-hack under Windows really well. Simply 
changing the ending of the tw-file to "hta" and you have a simple working 
one-file-tiddlywiki with saving mechanism. This is really usable. For me as 
the user the inner mechanism is not my point of interest. I can simply us 
this in class but only with windows devices. Something more universal and 
platform independent would be great.

A single TW-file with a working saving mechanism in it which opens per 
doubleclick in a browser or even in a separate portable program like 
TW-desktop (something which organises the saving) would be a great progress 
in usability for the non technical and casual user of tiddlywiki. This is 
the normal behavior of programs and files. The most simple users know this. 
This is an easy workflow. I use this kind of workflow every day. I simply 
don't want to install or configure something special in order to be able to 
save my work. But it is in most cases not much of a problem to install a 
app or a program in order to use it. I know there are restricted 
environments but for the normal user: The normal way to use a programm is 
to install something a *.exe or under linux a *.deb and simply use it.

Just my two cents.

Regards,

Stefan
