Yes, that is correct. > 2. If that's the case, is there an existing (read "easy") way to > allow the public to add comments to tiddlers on a TW there I'd be > using as a blog of sorts? It is possible to have public, open comments but it doesn't really make the best use of TiddlySpace. TiddlySpace is designed to solve some of the problems that have been found with open blog comments, open forums and open mailing lists - notably spam and the difficulties of scaling. The idea in TiddlySpace is that everyone only writes into their own spaces, to avoid the originating space risking hosting spam or other content that they do not control. Groups can create shared spaces, but the features of sharing are designed for use by small, trusted groups, not for throwing spaces open to everyone. The goal is that this approach will make commenting into a more discoursive, two-way process, and avoid the sort of rude, drive-by comments that have come to characterise the well-lit areas of the blogosphere. As I say, despite those comments, the design of TiddlySpace explicitly allows for radical extension and configuration, and so it would be possible to implement public comments. It may seem perverse for TiddlySpace to eschew obvious, popular features like comments and traditional multi-threading, but our objective is to explore new directions in social collaboration that are opened up by TiddlyWiki, and not to create a better Drupal or WordPress - they are already fine products that exemplify traditional features beautifully.
