I wonder if there is a case for the "about Tiddly wiki" website not being a Tiddlywiki....
There is -- and a mathematics specialist might want to jump in here -- some kind of impossibility of defining something in its own terms..... something to do with Godel incompleteness theory. So how about this; the about TiddlyWiki webpage is not a Tiddlywiki, but one generated from TW into the most basic type of HTML -- echoing the style of early W3 pages. Something like this: http://www.w3.org/WhatIs.html A timeless style like this would IMHO add a sense of authority and authenticity to the project. It frames TW as development of hypertext... from pure html of the early days, though to Wards Wiki (the first wiki) and now a personal wiki. HTML has -- though developments like TW -- become an everyday non-taking tool. TW is right up there in the cutting edge of Wikis and web standards - this is the reason it has such integrity. @Jerm mentioned in a recent hangout that he may be entering the world of teaching, and in an early YouTube I recall him talking about hypertext as the biggest innovation in text since the comma (I may be mistaken of course) . A concise framing of TW in the history of hypertext tools would be the kind of thing which could be useful to students of hypertext. Of course, there would be a page with links to TiddlyWikis, but a "vanilla" starting point would highlight the features of TiddlyWiki to a useful base point. Evoking the design trends of the day in the explanations of TW while looking impressive, ultimatedly undermines the timeless qualities of TW and the evocation of Chir Alex On 25 March 2015 at 19:27, Mat <[email protected]> wrote: > > I see- I didn't realize tiddlyspot.com existed in addition to >> tiddlyspace.com.
