I've just started using TiddlyWiki in the last few days, and am really 
enjoying it so far. I have lots of previous experience with MediaWiki, so 
I'm finding that I have to "unlearn" some things from there first. Even so, 
I've found it quite difficult to learn the new skills for TW, as the 
information available to beginners like me seems to be spread out and 
inconsistent between the various versions available. For instance, I see 
that this Google Groups forum differentiates between [TWC] and [TW5] in the 
forum blurb, but then it goes on to say...

In addition to questions/answers in this group, there is also a public 
> TiddlySpace containing TiddlyWiki Community Documentation 
> <http://www.tiddlywiki.org>.


...which, from what I have now come to understand, is only for TiddlyWiki 
Classic. Where is the community documentation for TW5? I was banging my 
head against a brick wall trying to implement something from the "community 
documentation" in my first TW wiki, only to realize later that it would 
never work, as it was for the wrong version. Frustrating!

Also, some of the commonly mentioned options for online hosting of TW 
wikis, such as TiddlySpace and TiddlySpot, don't seem to advertise (or even 
allow access to) information about which version of TW they are running. 
This makes it even more confusing, particularly when trying to synchronize 
the environment of my local (offline) TW implementation with an online TW 
host.

Finally, while we're discussing TW versions, the Customizer 
<http://twguides.org/customizer.html> at TWGuides by Andreas Hahn 
<http://tiddlywiki.com/#TWGuides%20by%20Andreas%20Hahn>, which was linked 
to from the Community tiddler <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Community> on the 
main TW5 site, is out of date. It seems to be stuck on TW 5.1.0, but the 
latest version is TW 5.1.9 apparently. This would be a valuable resource 
for beginners like me, if only it were up-to-date.

I'm looking forward to learning more about TiddlyWiki, as I implement my 
own offline knowledgebase with it.
