I just want to say thank you for all of the help. I also want to express that, while I honor the work that went into this - gosh, thank you for creating a project flexible, for free, for anyone walking along with an internet connection - I'm disappointed with some of the design choices in TW5. The thing I loved about TiddlyWiki to start off with was that it was in plain English, you didn't need to know how the wiki worked to tailor pretty much every aspect of it, you needed very little information about its structure (there were enough crumbs within the wiki itself to figure out or find anything you didn't know) within past TiddlyWikis that they had a lot of utility for non-tech people. I've been chipping away at TW5 for about four days now and have barely figured out how tags work. The documentation I'm reading doesn't really seem to help me figure out what I want to know, the TiddlyWiki itself reads like Greek, and I'm seriously worried that I will be unable to use TW5 for the project I had in mind. TW5 seems to have moved away from being a layman's highly configurable and transportable notebook - now, I need to find and use special characters, figure out where those things are and how they work, and actually get a help websites and group support to tell me how to do things... on the past TiddlyWikis that I used, I was up and running with really complex work in maybe thirty minutes at the outside, and I never had to join a community to get help. It let me focus on what I was using the wiki for, not have to learn how to use the wiki. Maybe I'm too impatient or something, I don't know, but I think TiddlyWiki5 went way right field of what made it appealing to the average Joe in the first place. It's a shame that IE, Firefox and Chrome these days seem to hate my older version of TiddlyWiki, so I can't use that either. Please understand that I don't mean any of the above to be intentionally nasty or over-critical; I just wanted to raise the point constructively for consideration. Like I said, I deeply appreciate the work that's gone into this, and that I even had the option of using TiddlyWiki. Thank you, - Elizabeth
