Although TiddlyWiki5 has many significant differences and improvements over TiddlyWiki Classic, they are NOT separate "projects". TiddlyWiki5 is a "evolutionary reboot" of TiddlyWiki Classic, and builds on many of the lessons that have been learned from years of real-world use of TiddlyWiki Classic. Since 2005, I have been providing ongoing community support to the worldwide TiddlyWiki user base as well as working with Jeremy on all aspects of TiddlyWiki development. With the arrival of TiddlyWiki5, my role remains the same: work with Jeremy on TiddlyWiki core code development, and provide instruction and assistance to the community. My current focus is on continued support for BOTH TiddlyWiki Classic *and* TiddlyWiki5, as well as develoment of conversion tools/wizards for migrating content from TWC to TW5. I also have written a very large number of TWC plugins and addons (www.TiddlyTools.com). While some of these plugins are rendered obsolete by new TW5 core capabilities, there are still many TiddlyTools plugins that provide additional functions and features that will need to be re-implemented for TiddlyWiki5. Similarly, an entirely new set of TiddlyTools QuickStart documents (see http:www.TiddlyTools.com/quickstart) will be need to be created for TW5. During this period of time, as TiddlyWiki5 development moves through the beta process and eventually emerges into mainstream use, support for TWC will continue to be important for the vitality and health of the TiddlyWiki community. Of course, once TiddlyWiki5 use becomes dominant, my focus will shift further towards support of TW5. So, as you can see, while your donations will help me to maintain TWC, it is NOT support for ONLY TiddlyWiki Classic. Your contributions benefit the TiddlyWiki Community as a whole.: both now, and for the future. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
