Jeremy, well done for plugging an overhaul of TW - it will never please everyone but I think everyone WILL say that TW has already been an amazing success and a brilliant concept well developed. I for one am looking forward very much to see a new version using the latest concepts & I've no doubt that it will be well implemented.
If you were to look back at a few of my past posts in this group, you'd see that I've always wanted HTML storage and WYSIWYG in TW, I'm not a fan of WIKI markup - life is too short to keep trying to remember it all and worst of all, I can't just copy & paste from a web page or a Word document and expect it to "just work" which is what I need if the tool is to be useful on a daily basis. I like the ideas presented behind TW5 and TiddlyWeb - great work everyone and thanks!
