Hi Miles
several reasons:
- no well defined community or governance mechanisms
? https://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/about
an email list is not a community and definitely not a governance mechanism
by contrast:
- debian.org
- http://couchdb.apache.org/
- http://drupal.org/community
right now, the most concise collection of info about Tiddly is the
wikipedia page
- really sketchy documentation (nothing serious at the architectural level)
One more of Eric's: http://www.tiddlytools.com/insideTW/
TiddlySpace: http://tiddlywikidev.tiddlyspace.com/
that's a start, but it's a far cry from anything that provides an
architectural overview, data architecture, data flow architecture,
control flow architecture -- i.e., how all the pieces fit together
say... like the documentation for jquery
- no clear idea of how it follows standards (or doesn't) - which is
really critical as browsers keep evolving
http://tiddlywiki.com/#%5B%5BTiddlyWiki%20Browser%20Compatibility%5D%5D
that's an after-the-fact list of problems - not a strategy for staying
ahead of browser compatibility issues
like, say the approach phonegap takes
Re. TiddlyWeb - now it's REALLY hard to decipher what's going on under the hood.
http://tiddlyspace.tiddlyspace.com
http://docs.tiddlyspace.com
http://tiddlyweb.peermore.com/wiki/
etc etc etc....
lots of little pieces - nothing that presents an organized view of how
the pieces fit together
and... lots of tidbits, spread across lots of locations - no indication
of what's current, what's not
All in all, it's very frustrating. TW is very capable, obviously has a
lot of time and expertise invested in it over several years - but what
could be a really powerful platform for single-page applications has
really become more of a series of hacks than something more carefully
organized.
TiddlyWiki is hackable - which is why I use it...
If you're a developer I suggest that you search for plugins and plugin
documentation on TiddlySpace, TiddlyTools or on GitHub.
If you are an software entrepeneur PLEASE hire Eric and get the
fastest most efficient response you can think of..... (And we get a
happy moderator...)
personally, my suggestion is that Eric, or somebody take a serious look
at developing a business model for TiddlyWiki - it could be a very nice
platform, but not if it's simply a couple of hackers, hacking away when
they can
Jeremy Rustin, or the folks at UnaMesa, or Eric, or somebody needs to
start thinking about what TiddlyWiki wants to be when it grows up - and
how to get there --- they need to start thinking like Ian Murdock, or
Linus, or the folks behind CouchDB....
right now, it's amateur hour
