TiddlyWiki is such an interesting tool because we each use it for personal projects and, I think, often things which are quite important to us. It's also interesting that even though Jeremy built it, even he doesn't know everything it can do. It's like having a Swiss-army knife where someone finds a new tool every week that we didn't know we had. In terms of easing adoption for new users, one possibility would be to consider a loose notion of tiered-learning. There are a number of basic concepts needed to use TW as a personal wiki and note-store. The next tier might be use of tags, lists, macros. The next tier might be templates and interface customisation. Personally I have never really been into joining internet communities - I can find enough snarky, judgemental people in the real world if I ever want to - but I really like the TW community. It would be very interesting to know more about what people use it for. I'm using it to write textbooks for high-school kids, how about you? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
