Hi Mat I think there's a much easier way that we could accept contributions to the documentation.
Individuals could clone tiddlywiki.com to tiddlyspot (which is just a couple of clicks), and make their edits there. When they are ready to submit their changes they would notify a core developer who could run a diff of their changes for review, and accept or reject them individually. To do that we'd just need to add visual diffing to the import mechanism, which is something that I'd like to do anyway. They could also send a link to the discussion group for comment. I don't think we can allow random contributions to be published on tiddlywiki.com without review. > Export that single(!) tiddler to have it sent as a .tid file to tw.com. That's the trouble. What does it mean to send a .tid file to tw.com? Don't forget that tiddlywiki.com is just a bunch of static web pages, there's no application logic to handle uploads. > new visitors can read this hopefully improved draft and give it likes! Similarly, we've got no mechanism for recording likes. Best wishes Jeremy.
