This of course includes getting to know many plugins and also a bit about theming, which was also combined with getting up to speed on improving my CSS at the time.
I see the "canned templates" like the GTD flavors, especially Monkey for taggly tagging, TWtree, etc as the user-ready apps, but it's true that any serious customization requires a decent commitment to learning to use TW as a toolkit. IMO the project does sorely need a "docs curator" who is at least an experienced user, ideally with explicit support from the dev-gurus, to to consolidate and add to all the relevant docs on core TW + the important plugins in one place, or perhaps two if there is a distinction between "official" docs and "community" wiki. Each of the server-side solutions also needs their own. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
