I am watching the discussion about this thread on TW Hangouts #72. My .02 about new users, being a person that uses a lot of 'apps'. With "Apps" people download first and try out then delete, especially when it is free. If they are not up and running fast, and the app is not easy to use, they usually Move On to the next free thing.
That is why I created 5 Steps to TiddlyWiki 5 - http://www.richshumaker.com/tw5/FiveStepsToTiddlyWiki5.htm What do you really need to know about TW to get up and running? Once you get some very basic concepts your brain CLICKS and 'Boom Goes the Dynamite' you are off an running. I do not currently have a download in my tutorial and that is something I need to address so hearing issues about downloading is very helpful. Old users like me and most on this board are not the best people to ask about what a new user needs. I think a good experiment would be to download the software, a blank version, and say, 'Use it' and see what they can do and what they can't. Obviously a file that downloads should have some name that reflects the product, "TiddlyWiki5.1.5" as an example. Having a name like 'index.html' would be counter productive as you are not branding your brand. Even the Empty TW should have TiddlyWiki <<Version>> Clear and Front and Center. Brand your Brand and Product. So when the person hands it off they already have that in there. I think some viral school marketing would be great, a few hundred USB keys with TW passed out among Techno College Students. The train the trainer model, give away style model. Raspberry Pi has Jams. What could we have like that, small group meetings to show new people the Awesome power of TW? That is how I met people on this board was in the real world not just the virtual one. Thanks everyone for all the help. Without the community I would be lost. Rich Shumaker -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
