I suggest that in this thread we can discuss less "how one thinks about TWc/TW5" and back to "should this discussion group have a branch so to distinguish topics about the two major works", and "if yes, how to separate" or "if no, how to make most of the members of this group comfortable with different objectives on the group"?
(For me TWc may stay in use for a long time on since I have 20~25MB total of TW files/spaces with heavily working plugins which may never be able to be transferred upon TW5 cores. However, I do appreciate the fascinating and promising bunch of new features TW5 is providing and I also believe that as TW5 reaches closer and closer to its first release, more developments and contributions may also expand its usage, use cases and functions, to what TWc has got in the years and even makes TiddlyWiki more popular. I look forward to this happening soon.) It may be clear to visitors with two dedicated groups for each, and the proposal of PMario sounds good to me: rename this group to TW-classic or such, and create a new one as "TiddlyWiki" hosting things about TW5. Meanwhile I just came up with one technical issue: the URL of the group and threads. Since "tiddlywiki" is the suffix for this group, will it change with the name of the group? If not, then will it be confusing to visitors with this mismatch? But on the other hand, if the URLs do change, will the current links of posts and threads broken? I hope that it's just my over-worrying and there is in fact no such a problem. I'm also okay with the current state with TWc and TW5 together If we decide to keep it as is. If there are members confused with the two major forks then we notice them, help them and make clear how to find needed information respectively. I hope and support that both TW5 and TWc continue to get development and support as both are and will be really helpful in my digital life. Thanks a lot, people!
