1. First, I want to point out how Awesome I think y'all's work here on 
Tiddlywiki is. On a scale of 1-10, you go up to eleven. Because of the 
miscellaneous nature of my comments and questions here, I'm just tossing 
them all in the regular group; i hope it doesn't rustle anybody's jimmies. 
(So y'all know, I'm looking to use Tiddlywiki as a Personal Information 
Manager, 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_personal_information_managers>and a 
word processor and organizer for writing the multifarious types of writing 
that I do. I would consider myself an bottom intermediate level internet 
user, though, from your perspective, I may be no higher than a low 
beginning level.)

2. So a few years ago, I was asking around a bit, and In a thread, Autosave, 
Revision History, and the 
Cloud<https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!search/autosave$20revision$20history$20and$20the$20cloud/tiddlywiki/Z0IWQ743ToY/ndaUNEqTqL0J>.
 
This eventually led me to giewiki, by Poul 
Staugaard<https://plus.google.com/u/0/109538188690115896306?prsrc=4>, 
which I've been using ever since. 

Is there any way to make Tiddly5 autosave copies while you're working in 
it, like giewiki does, so that, if my computer suddenly shut off, I 
wouldn't lose most of my work? I have a habit of saving often, but it seems 
that tragedies strike just on those occasions where I have forgotten to 
save for the last 45 minutes of brilliant work. I use Sugarsync, an AWESOME 
cloud service, which solves my cloud problems, but what about keeping 
revision history of tiddlers in Tiddly5? 

2.5 ( I was going to ask about Permalinks, but I found that you already 
addressed that in a question recently).

3. At Jeremy's suggestion from answering my question the other day, I was 
trying to figure out how to do transclusion of tiddler contents into a 
tiddler, but the documentation led me to the tiddler on "Tiddler Templates" 
which had ... nothing there. Help? I found some of the documentation on 
Tiddlywki.org, but I'm still not sure I understand what I need to know for 
how how to use Tiddler Templates. Would anybody be able to provide some 
pre-built tiddler templates, so that I, a novice and a moron, wouldn't need 
to make my own, crappy ones? And also tell me how to access them, etc?

4. Speaking of which, the GTD templates/apps. From what I can gather, 
Tiddly5 is implementing a lot of the functionality and features introduced 
by apps like dGSD and tbGTD, which is splendid! But, again, my greatest 
need is the pre-packaged layout and setup. How would one migrate the dGSD 
or tbGTD contents into Tiddly5? Has anybody built any GTD stuff using 
Tiddly5 yet? 

5. Tagging. I realize that Tagging is one of the most powerful and robust 
features of Tiddlywiki. That's the problem. There's SO much functionality, 
I don't know how to use enough of it to use any of it effectively. Like 
many people, I do great if I can see many examples, and learn by copying 
and tweaking them, but with Tiddlywiki, I have to figure everything out 
from the ground up, which is REALLY hard. :( Some more linear education 
would be great. It's so easy to be researching, and accidentally wander 
into an area much more advanced than my level, and then I start getting 
confused, because I needed other information before I should have looked at 
that advanced page. My humble, *humble *request is that you take some time 
away from development and put it into documentation. Please take this as 
the lone voice among thousands of things you have to consider, not as the 
unreasonable demand of an irrelevant novice. I understand why a man needs 
to make sacrifices in his priorities, because he has to consider so many 
things and do so much in so little time for so many people. 

6. *In Tiddlywiki terms, *What's the difference between a widget, plugin, a 
script, a macro, a formula, a module, a template, a theme, a system tag, 
and an app? (did I miss any?) and which of these things, when taken from 
TWC are most likely to be compatible with Tiddly5, which has such a 
radically different core structure? 

7. Finally, I feel like I would much rather use Tiddlywiki as my blogging 
platform than Wordpress or Blogger, But how might I seemlessly integrate 
adwords or something similar? (this question is a low priority for now, 
just tossing it out here because it came to me.)

-Thank you very much, 

Leo Staley
