You have read my mind. Completely. I was actually going to make this post. You've actually said it better than my rambling style though.
We need to have a centralized discussion spot where we can upload our own tiddlywikis to show the adjustments and such that we've done, and collaborate together to determine what should comprise these "straight-out-of-the-box" qizards. This google group doesn't seem like the most effecient spot for that. In fact, for this, we probably want to use a specific online collaboration tool. Because I've never done a serious collaborative effort like this, My first thought was Google docs. Here is the shared drive. I've made sharing permissions so that anyone using this link can add or edit documents. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B300Uw4EAaNoOXJBVHo3Y0RFOHM&usp=sharing Unless y'all can come up with something better, the idea is to upload your tiddly, and create a document for comments and discussion on it. General ettiquitte i propose would be only create or modify your own documents, but add comments on others'. I'll also create a Primary document to keep track of ideas like those 6 items almost all of those were on my list. When you edit it, sign your edits. I've got a few more! 7. Additional easy visual customization, like top and left bars, and adjusting the look of the whole layout (more than is currently done by themes), and easier color scheme adjustment. I think separating color palette and theme would be great. 8. Easy tagging We could even put in a poll or polls for what people want/need most (either from this project, or needing official development). You'll find mine there right now. It's not as advanced as you'd expect, given the time I've spent here, but with a collaborative project like this to motivate me, that'll totally change.
