A student reads few papers, prepares a summary, discussion and compares important results. He/She uses links to original papers for example on Sciencedirect! In a course with few number of students (in that case 17 graduate students) and the customized TW they use has 3.2MB size. So, for every HMW the instructor receives around 55MB through email or university LMS, comment/grade them and return like 55MB again! A ten pages Word docx is around 100kB. So for this class one homework is 1700 kB versus 55MB!! So, if we think of Tiddlywiki as a personal note taking on our thumb drive, or personal website on GitHub 10MB or more is okay to work on a rather old laptop with 2MB Ram. But if we think single empty.html as a flexible universal document then the size matters! I understand a single file Tidllywiki has a lot of unique features I can not find in a Word document, may be this the penalty we pay! more flexibility, more feature but bulky .html. --Mohammad > > But, as they say, it is what it is. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
