Cl0d, You'll find people here at both extremes: some use one massive TW5 as a repository for everything, figuring that this path makes maximal room for connections even across domains that may seem separate.
My own approach is different largely because I like to have TW5 files that I can share with different audiences, without worrying that something intended for one audience would be distracting or even inappropriate for another audience. Obviously, that holds for a project devoted to a particular university course. I also set up a TW5 for a committee I chair; it's locked down with an encryption password and includes notes that aren't appropriately shared except with others on the committee (though I don't naively upload anything to an online repository like GitHub that is super-sensitive). For another example, folks at the TWGG know that I just set up a super-minimal TW5 for hosting the images connected with the 5.1.23 logo contestants. Anyone who visits that wiki can poke around the "Recent" list without being confused by a long list of irrelevant things. Many plugins offer demo TW5 pages that are similarly stand-alone. I enjoy developing each of my projects with a distinctive color scheme and style set so that it feels like I'm arriving in a different "work environment" when I shift from one project to another. Whichever way you go, you should be reassured that dragging tiddlers between files, or filtering and exporting a JSON batch and dropping it onto a different TW5, allows you to engage in fusion or fission as needed down the road. -Springer On Thursday, November 26, 2020 at 4:13:44 PM UTC-5 Cl0d wrote: > Thank you for your answer. > > It can without a doubt serve, I'd say, unlimited purposes.
