tiddlywiki.org is this no? I would expect tiddlywiki.com to be a front door with the bare minimum information. It should tell me how to use TiddlyWiki, it should point to a community site (tiddlywiki.org), point to documentation of the tiddlywiki core and point to the code. Not much else is really needed although a blog might be useful to list known issues. Tiddlywiki.org should go into more detail. It should clearly signpost to me how I can get involved, how i can improve the software, how i can get help and maybe make it easier for users to sign up to the mailing list. tiddlywiki.org as it stands has lots of good information but is far too noisy with no clear sign posts. It mixes developer documentation with end user documentation - a sorry state of affairs. The navigation is terrible. There are links to the home tiddler and a random button (which seems like a gimmick). Instead I'm expected to search through the timeline or use the search to find the content I need. I think this is because, although people are keen to look after the content, someone who cares about this stuff should be keeping an eye on the presentation. My two cents would be * someone needs to own this problem - note this doesn't mean solve the problem, but it means be the coordinator - ie. the person who brings up the topics of "the documentation doesn't cover X, and doesn't cover Y" I'm happy to help with things like UI and code and getting the relevant content in there, but I think what would be really useful (and cool!) is if someone in the group outside Osmosoft, Jeremy and Eric takes control of this. * there should be a public wiki where anyone can contribute * there should be a deployed wiki to tiddlywiki.org which is composed of the best bits of the public wiki and picked out by a subset of the TiddlyWiki community (including the coordinator) to ensure content doesn't die and is well structured. PS. http://tiddlywiki-org2.tiddlyspace.com/ is a bit closer to how I would like tiddlywiki.org to look like - I knocked this up to hopefully get people thinking and experimenting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
