That makes things easier -- it had escaped my notice that once the docs had been placed into a plugin, an 'export all' would export only modified documentation. Looks to me that the TW5-docs plugin should, therefore, be broken into >> several sections -- one for each TW5-docs moderator. >> > > Things get a bit easier if we can assume that moderators are working in > GitHub, even if the contributors aren't. > Again -- this streamlines the merge process. With these two modifications, the process should be fairly simple for contributors: A contributor: (a) downloads and saves a copy of the latest TW5-docs (b) modifies (or creates) the relevant tiddlers (c) exports the modified tiddlers in JSON format (with 'Export all tiddlers' button) (d) attaches this JSON file to a post (explaining the reason for the changes) in the appropriate thread of the TiddlyWik-Docs forum. And the moderators picks up the process from there. It seems that downloading JSON files from a Google group is easier for a moderator than visiting a list of blogspot wikis and, attaching a JSON file to a post is easier for a contributor than creating and updating a blogspot wiki. This also provides a forum for contributors to discuss their documentation modifications (with moderators and other contributors) before they post to the pinned threads. regards On Tuesday, 15 September 2015 18:18:42 UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: >>> >>> Following up some recent discussions about making it easier for people >>> to contribute improvements to the documentation on tiddlywiki.com, I've >>> been experimenting with a new edition for documentation contributors: >>> >>> http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/editions/tw5.com-docs/ >>> >>> It's based on a new plugin $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tw5.com-docs that >>> contains all the documentation tiddlers from tiddlywiki.com.
