TiddlyWiki5 is very powerful but it seems to take time to customize, and even if you do manage to customize it, there is always the additional markup you need to add to each page. I'm currently undergoing a transition from Basket Note Pads to TW5, and moving all the notes is a pain considering that the formats are different and I have to reformat everything page-by-page.
TW5 seems to really lend itself towards power-users, however, the level of hackishness required to get it working the way you'd want it to kind of defeats that whole paradigm of "power usage". What if instead we had a set of tools to streamline the usage/customization of TW5? What I'm proposing is that we create a community-supported/endorsed set of wizards to help ease new users into TW5 and to speed things up for the rest of us, so we can spend less time hacking around in TW5 and more time utilizing it (like we should be?). It would be great if somehow we could head towards a more "do-what I mean" level of functionality. The goals here are to 1.)maximize time efficiency using TW5. 2.)Make the customization of TW5 easier right out of the box. Off the top of my head, we could have wizards for the following: 1.Button Creation/Placement 2.Creating/Customizing Menus 3.Creating Templates/Using Templates 4.Creating/Placing Menus/Nested Menus (the left menu in http://tw5topleft.tiddlyspot.com/, however that one isn't nested) 5.Creating Tabs (like the ones also in http://tw5topleft.tiddlyspot.com/) 6.Tag Management (rename an entire set of tags/ merging tags into each other) It's not that these things can't be done by hand, it's just that I believe that we can make the above faster/easier. The more user-friendly we make these things out to be I believe the more everyone wins.
