I'm happy to announce that tiddlyweb 1.0.0 has been released today.
In honor of the occasion and to thank FND for all the help he has provided in making TiddlyWeb possible, I've made a press release: http://tiddlyweb.com/release1.0.html For those of you that don't know (this message is being sent a fewi different places), tiddyweb is the web-serving engine that provides the core services of the TiddlyWeb system. It is augmented by tiddlywebwiki to provide a powerful and flexible server-side for TiddyWiki. At base tiddlyweb is a web application that provides an HTTP API, built with RESTful principles, for storing and retrieving tiddlers. The tiddlers are kept in bags, which provide a system for organizing tiddlers amongst anywhere from one to many users. Recipes are then used to select those tiddlers which are required for particular application or purpose, often a TiddlyWiki. The release of tiddlyweb at version 1.0 means that resources will now be focused on tiddlywebwiki. tiddlywebwiki is the part of TiddlyWeb which provides the TiddlyWiki functionality. This makes it an appropriate time to invite TiddlyWiki users who have some experience with installing and using Python packages, or would like to learn, to participate in the beta-testing period for tiddlywebwiki. The press release includes pointers to all the main sites for information. The future for TiddlyWeb is looking bright: The original design has proven to do what it set out to do quite well while remaining flexible in supporting things the original design could never have predicted. The changes coming to tiddlywebwiki, and experiments being done to produce hosted services for multi-user TiddlyWiki are very promising. On a personal note I'd like to say thanks to the many people who have helped make TiddlyWeb what it is. It's been a long process to get to 1.0, much longer than I would have predicted at the start, and there is still a lot to do to reach the full potential of the system. I have learned a great deal in the process and to my mind learning is really what any of this is about: whether it is the learning that comes from building the tools, or the learning that comes from using the tools to manage information. Obviously thanks are due to Jeremy Ruston for creating TiddlyWiki in the first place, and then giving me the opportunity to build TiddlyWeb. Many thanks as well, to all the guys from Osmosoft who have provided feedback, input, encouragement and criticism without which there would be no TiddlyWeb. Thanks, especially, to FND, who, by sheer grit pulled himself up by his bootstraps to become what amounts to the vice-beneficent(we hope)-dictator-for-life of the TiddlyWeb universe, and I'm glad to have him there. And many thanks to all the participants on the tiddlyweb googlegroup, who are the reason any of this stuff is being done.
