There have been numerous efforts to create community-generated, open wikis for documenting TiddlyWiki... unfortunately, most have met with only limited success. Although community-driven wiki's are a good idea for some kinds of information, in practice, they have not been all that successful at producing clear, consistent, well-organized documentation for TiddlyWiki. There have been some *individually-authored/curated* TiddlyWiki documentation efforts have been well received and are very helpful. However, most of the "open contributor" sites tend to be a bit of a mess and eventually lose steam and become static and stale, with outdated or incorrect information (due to core changes). There is also a tendency for people to document their solutions to "hard stuff"... so the articles tend towards "dense, complex documentation targeted towards seasoned programmers", rather than "the more easily understood documentation that could be read by newbies" -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
