I am going to step into this one with my two cents worth: There seems to be a lot of confusion on the part of some that feel TW5 is only good for node.js. That is simply not true.
I am a non/developer who does not use node.js or work with online TWs. I use standalone TWs offline and upload them to my website with FileZilla. Yet even I have gotten to the point of using TW5 as my to do list - a major improvement to my TW classic to do list, I should say, and as my note-taking tool (see here http://giffmex.org/5notes.htm for the last version I bothered to upload), and now to publish my Spanish web materials (http://www.giffmex.org/recursosgiffmex.htm). The only feature I am really eager for is the ability to get URLS from tiddlers, to promote my Spanish materials. Everything else is pretty much the way I want it. Yes, it will be a while to get plugins and bells and whistles that would be cool to have. But it is amazing what is already available, especially just in the last 2 or 3 months. Even in terms of visual modifications, there is already the stylesheet option and now the Theme tweaks tiddler. And I have already seen and used a Topmenu and a special viewtemplate. I can tell it's really not far away before TW5 starts exploding with plugins and features. So the complaints don't resonate with me, and made me wince. Can't blame Jeremy if he felt like his work is unwanted after a couple of the comments here. I have used several programs that have come out with radically different versions and have retained the name of the old version. There are people stll using version 2 of Logos software when it is on version 5, and every version of Logos was practically a reinvention of the software. TiddlyWiki is no different and TW5 has every right to take over the TW name. I can sympathize with those who would like to have the long history of discussions and threads in the present Google group available to them in a classic-related group and not have to wade through TW5 posts. So if there is a way to rename the thread TiddlyWiki classic and give the TiddlyWiki group name to TW5, I would be in favor of that option. And I think that change should come sooner rather than later. And each group should link to the other. But one thing is to ask for changes in the group and another is to complain about the uselessness of software you don't even seem to understand. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
