Hi, For a short term solution, I agree with Jeremy about a welcome message to the TW groups asking people to flag their subject lines TWc or TW5, due to the not so big traffic in this group.
For a long term solution, I would rather have a central place for TWc and TW5 open to contributions from TW users and containing : * A presentation of TWc and TW5, * A download area, * Documentation about TWs, * A forum, a FAQ, tutorials, * A plugin and theme repository with their documentation, * A presentation and links to TW universe (TiddlyWeb, TiddlySpot, Tiddly GTD ...). About TWc / TW5 I think that TWc will still survive for quite a long time because: * Of all the already existing plugins, * Of all the customization (plugins, themes/css, transclusions, ...) made by each user on its TW. * Of the impossibility to simply and quickly import this plugins and customizations inside a TW5. On the other side, TW5 seems to have more potential, especially for developing / integrating new functionalities. And I think, exiting and new users will use it: * If he can add useful functionalities (this implies developing plugins but also making them easy to find and use), * If he can easily tweak its TW5. For me, when I dscovered TWc, I decided to use it against other solutions because it was a single thml page, you could use anywhere (including PC with limited accounts) and offering powerful tools and quite easy tweaking mechanisms. I'd like to find this power and simplicity again in TW5. For instance it took me 10-20 mn in TWc to understand plugin mechanism, make a first hello-world plugin and hack my first plugin without using anything else than my TWc and my browser. To do a simple helloWorld plugin in TW5, the recommended way*, you should: 1) download a node.js binaries version (can't use the installer version on a work computer), 2) discover how to make a plugin and build a TW including it with node.js, 3) find and download a git portable version to use the building .sh script (windows 7 computer ), 4) searching on internet how to properly configure node.js and git portable in this portable configuration => writing the corresponding .bat files. 5) Finally having your plugin in your TW! While this may be easy for (javascript) developers it may not be so easy for common users. However I have no doubt that Jeremy will find solutions to allow easy tweaking of TW5 for common users and that he just need time (I can't imagine how many hours he has already spent on TW5 and will spend to make a beta and the next versions) and some feedback to do so (it's always difficult and time consumming to make simple functions). Thank you for those reading up to this point.
