Well... it's also not all that developer friendly. And THAT's the rub.
+1
I'm registering this +1 here because I don't want this comment from
Miles to pass by without notice. We all agree that TiddlyWiki is clever,
useful, interesting, thought provoking and revolutionary at its time of
birth. But there's an argument that can be made, evidence being what
Miles has said, that its structure and style resist developers that are
"trained up" on modern techniques and development tools.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing[1] but it is a thing that exists and
is a force that should be recognized as we attempt to evaluate ways
to improve community engagement and support.
I think that TiddlyWiki can't be all things to all people. That's
the job of the tiddler.
[1] There's another argument to be made the modern development
techniques and communities are exclusionary priesthoods and
TiddlyWiki is a power to the people kind of thing, but if that's the
case then the need for a TiddlyWiki bible from which the people
might learn their power becomes a greater imperative than it already
is.
