One other source I saw was tiddlywiki.org which is very robust and user-friendly, with clear examples. I see that's a community wiki. Are there plans to do a community wiki for version five? If so, I'm happy to help create the material however I can. A documentation style I'm used to, and which might add some value if used for TW5, is the one used by the WordPress function reference. Here, each of the "special tags" that you can use with your installation is explained with: - a plain text description of the tag, with particular regard for contexts when the tag is or is not able to be used. - a (default) usage example - a list of paramaters/attributes, explained - before/after example(s) to show common usages and their expected results - recent changes to the tag's behavior, if any - related tags If you're not familiar with that model, here's a fairly ordinary example: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_tags Of course, it's a lot of work to document so much, but by coming up with a clear structure early on, it can be easier for others to fill in the rest over time. Again, I'm happy to help however I can. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
