Formerly known under a different name, the Community space is
unfolding. We now have;

http://community.tiddlyspace.com
- intended to be "more or less a one-stop-shop" community portal
and
http://communityweb.tiddlyspace.com
- for development issues concerning the community portal

Neither is ready for use yet, so your input is greatly
appreciated! :-)


Picking up from an earlier conversation Tobias replied to some
questions of mine:

Hm, what do you suggest to change? I do agree the graphics are
amateurish, but menu content?

But don't you think our needs are possible to solve with TW? One great
benefit would be direct links to whatever you reference. Plus we would
be in full control of it.

I can see benefit in iframing (as you suggest) but for this very
google group that is established and that has archived posts.
Introducing a new forum software would lose out both on the TW linking
and the TW self containment and on the archive aspect. And the easy
customization.

Is there something not possible with TW?

But iframing this google group and perhaps some kind of "suggestion
with voting" thing as an intermediary solution (instead of static
images), sure!

YEAH!!!!! Are the conversations imported or are they taking place in
your space? Does/can it have the same features as, say, this google
group? You mention a tScan macro to "fetch all comments" - from where?
Do you think you could add this to the community site?

(Haha, someone nicked myspace!) I can't quite find any post button
there though. There is very little content at that site (or maybe I
need to be a member to see anything?)

Yes! Do I understand you right in that this is a request that must be
made to the tiddlyspace dev team? Or would it be a separate plugin
thing? Regardless... it is beyond me.

It even looks TW'ish. However, it seems to address something totally
different, i.e "live text collaboration". I'm not sure how that is
relevenat - or am I just not imaginative enough? When would that type
of live collaboration be relevant? And are you saying it should be
instead of a forum? I don't understand.
