Yes, I think the question of who is the target user is an important one. Most of the discussions I have seen on the forum and in the hangouts seem to be aiming for promoting TW to an audience with relatively low technical capability. I think this is a mistake both in terms of maximising the audience and maximising the impact of Tiddlywiki. I would suggest that the aim of marketing TW should be to maximise something like the following product:
*size of audience trying TW (A) * probability of user sticking with TW (B) * benefit received or impact achieved by user (C)* Targetting a low-tech audience makes A very large, but B and C are likely to be very low. I think a better result would be achieved by targetting a smaller, but still substantial technically capable audience, for whom B and C are much larger. In an ideal world, you would target everyone, but with finite resources, it is better to go for the low hanging fruit. If I were to try to promote it to people I know, I would start with my colleagues and not my Mum. Neil.
