In the past couple of days TiddlySpace (on http://tiddlyspace.com/) reached its 6000th user so now seems like an opportune time to request some feedback from the various communities that use it and those that have thought about it but don't yet.
I'm writing different versions of this message to different groups. This, the first, is to the tiddlywiki group, I'll also write to the TiddlyWeb and TiddlySpace groups[1] if time allows. I'm writing here first because of those 6000 users, most of them are using TiddlySpace as a place to host their content in TiddlyWikis. For those who don't know TiddlySpace combines TiddlyWeb[2] and TiddlyWiki to provide a flexible, multi-user and multi-domain hosting service for tiddlers with system-wide search, public and private storage, atom feeds, binary tiddlers and a slew of tools to make it easy to create, curate and share your content. Over the past year most of the development on TiddlySpace has been focused in a few main areas: * Stabilizing and optimizing the service for speed and concurrency. * Enabling what are being called apps: Web applications on TiddlySpace, using tiddlers, outside of TiddlyWiki. * Enabling "real-time" information flows with tiddler information flowing over websockets. As is the case with most open source projects these priorities come about as a result of who is doing the work and who is being the squeaky wheel. This message is a request for people to squeak and speak up about what they want or need from TiddlySpace. Doing so will help to form priorities and ensure that TiddlySpace serves all the people who use it or want to use it. Any comments or propositions are encouraged and desired. If you don't have something narrative to contribute, then commenting on any of the following (+1 or -1) propositions would also be useful, along with any editorial remarks (such as how to accomplish the proposition): * Make the default TiddlyWiki presented by TiddlySpace be more like empty.html with the option to easily add functionality. Or... * Make the default TiddlyWiki be flexible and powerful with TiddlySpace functionality with the option to easily be more like empty.html. * Provide more blessed themes and verticals and make them easier to find. * Accelerate progress on including TiddlyWiki5 in TiddlySpace. * Intergrate TiddlySpace-wide search into TiddlyWiki. * Enable a type of lazy loading by default in online TiddlyWikis while ensuring that downloaded Tiddlywikis still operate effectively. * Allow login and registration with github/facebook/google. * Improve the documentation (if you +1 this one you are obliged to editorialize on how). * Expose greater admin functionality for manipulating bags and recipes. * Make it easier to use tiddlers in apps outside of TiddlySpace. * Change the frontpage of tiddlyspace.com so it is more inviting. This is just a short list to get things started. I hope that people will add their own. After there has been some discussion I'll summarize the results and make a roadmap. Thank you for your participation and help.
