Wonderful Eric! I have a few questions: 1) I understand the campaign is for the first volume which is targeted at total newcomers, yes? Does this mean funding now will not contribute to further volumes? (I imagine that themajority of members to this group are not newcomers...)
2) Even if indiegogo has a "Flexible Funding" model... what happens with the actual realization of the book if the goal is not reached? 3) As is obvious from the boards, there is no end to questions when it comes to TW. But books are somewhat static in nature. Do you have any thoughts on how to deal with this aspect? Thank you! <:-) 2) Sorry if this is answered but On Monday, November 17, 2014 12:00:49 AM UTC+1, Eric Shulman wrote: > > Greetings All! > > As we well know, TiddlyWiki provides great flexibility to create a wide > range of purpose-built "web applications".
