This is (not only) a reply to Richards Post [1]. This is a plea for a well designed community-driven, invitation based site. It doesn't have to be there by tomorrow, but after years of not having it, this project really needs to get started. The thing is, there is a difference between a movie and a movie studio... but, today, tiddlywiki.com tries to be both.
At least, if it is going to be a tiddler based site, finally have it based on tiddlyweb, tiddlyspace or tiddlyhoster ...so that core contributors can start to take part ...not in documenting for some google groups crawler but rather a full-blown tiddlywiki based aggregation of what is outthere, what can be done and how. Add some meaningful tools for inspection to the basket and content quality or site structure should be manageable for whoever applies for the job of a moderator. I mean, it's a wiki... this thing is supposed to evolve not by the hands of some behind-the scene Gods but by people like you (Jon, Jeremy, Fred, Martin, Colm, Matt, Ben or Eric ...but also Mans, Wolfgang, Mario, Alex ...you see, the list sure is longer than that) and me. A handful of reasonable basic tenets plus content rules and it shouldn't take a decade for such a site to emerge without ending up in content chaos. So please, Jeremy, Chris, ... stick your heads together to make that happen... and get some community site and design guru's on board. I mean, I would definetely contribute if only there was such a project. Even though a lot of information has already been gathered there, I don't think TiddlySpace itself is the right place / has the right design / ships with the right premises. This is an "enterprise" in its very own right. For example, it feels like a rather simple idea to have some tiddlyweb based collection where members can edit some plugin-repository- tiddler(s) in some plugin-bag(s)... as opposed to a TiddlyHub-Style "apply here to have your whole wiki(s) crawled by our script, instead of just the plugin(s) you actually want published". I mean, if (authorized) people can edit their stuff freely, these things evolve a whole lot quicker, presumably with significantly higher data quality. Eventually it should be simple to query tiddlyweb and extract exactly this information to have it shown in some integrated, user-interaction-agnostic version of TiddlyHub. Add disqus - because it's just not so important to have a one-stop-shop - and the thing is ready to go. Cheers, Tobias.
