Folks, Perhaps we need to also apply some global Operating and browser statistics, perhaps Windows + Chrome is far more common occurrence than others.
Personally if I were a new tiddlywiki user I would love to of had a playground where I can test editions and plugins, learned about and installed Timimi with FireFox and Chrome from the get go, venturing into server options later. Now this is my personal experience, and others will have different journeys and opinions but can we make these shorter journeys for the majority at least?
