- The upcoming TW5 version "5.0.7 beta" will include some documentation about how http://tiddlyspot.com saves TWs. It can handle TWc and TW5 with some php scripts, that should be executable with any VPS. - With the introduction of TiddlyDesktop [1] imo Jeremy made a big step forward in case of "browser _independency_" for file based TW5. - The TW5 (deb) build process has the possibility to create static html pages from every tiddler in a TW see: http://tiddlywiki.com/static/HelloThere. There is no javascript needed. Should be fast for every mobile plattform in read only mode. ... While this feature is a bit tricky to activate for newbie users, it creates a possibility to publish very simple and _fast_ pages, that can be hosted with every VPS, that allows serving files. - At the moment I'm creating a "black box" (configuration) that should allow non developers to play with a "nodejs based TW5" on there own computers. So creating the static files should be just 3 commands away. At the moment I'm recording an intro video and do the basic docs. I think, all of this is great. right? TW5-beta imo is very stable, so it doesn't crash. good ! .... but there is still some discussion going on about the "wiki syntax" changes. So you should be aware, that you _may need_ to adjust your tiddler text until "TW5 stable" is released. .. On the other hand, it is very difficult to reach stable, if just a view take the "risk to use TW5-beta" __and__ provide feedback, so it can be improved. IMO at the moment, every beta user, that gives feedbakc, has the possibility to influence the development ;) ... I hope this helps you for your decision :) have fun! mario [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Bggkm7paA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
