@James don't worry about it. Fact of the matter is that the group description and introductory text does not make this clear, in fact it states that Github is for TiddlyWiki core development discussions.
We try to be welcoming of newcomers regardless of where you may end up first posting, just as we are of non-developers engaging over at Github. JavaScript developers are in short supply in this community and one of the main things holding back innovation and progress in my opinion, so please don't feel discouraged to ask questions. The discussions section over at Github is probably the best place to post JavaScript related questions: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/discussions Cheers, Saq On Monday, May 17, 2021 at 8:26:20 AM UTC+2 [email protected] wrote: > hey Tones, > > I wasn't sure of the split. i guessed TW dev was for people developing the > core TW, but if it's for any devs using it to create plugins and so on I > can definitely take similar questions there. > > Thanks, > James > > On Monday, 17 May 2021 at 00:47:21 UTC+1 TW Tones wrote: > >> Folks esp James. >> >> It seems to me such threads as this one belong in the dev discussions.
