I thought this article was pretty cool because it gives the perspective of someone who has been away from TiddlyWiki for a few years:
http://www.networkworld.com/article/3028098/open-source-tools/tiddlywiki-a-free-open-source-wiki-revisited.html >From the introduction: Way back in the mists of time (actually, January 2009) I wrote about a really cool tool called TiddlyWiki, a “non-linear personal web notebook”. Fast forward to today and I just had an out of body experience: Completely by accident I found a TiddlyWiki that I started when I wrote that piece and it still works! Finding code that works flawlessly after just two or three years is magical enough but after seven years?! And given that TiddlyWiki is written as a single page Web application and considering how different browsers are now than they were in 2009, the fact that the old version of TiddlyWiki still works is not short of miraculous. Of course, in the intervening years, TiddlyWiki has evolved and the latest version is the result of the author, Jeremy Ruston, selling his company to British Telecom, creating related TiddlyWiki services and tools while at BT, then leaving and rebuilding TiddlyWiki (you can find the history in the TiddlyWiki’s TiddlyWiki). The result? Freakin’ awesome! TiddlyWiki has become a very polished piece of free, open source software engineering and I was delighted to find that the latest version could even import my ancient version's content. My old TiddlyWiki was a fairly large collection of recipes and other than some minor formatting issues (the latest version supports a type of markdown called WikiText so my old version’s content wasn’t correctly formatted) everything was easily imported and upgraded. --- It might be a good article to send on to friends, family, co-workers etc in our quest to get more people to look at TiddlyWiki: http://tiddlywiki.com/#HelpingTiddlyWiki Best wishes Jeremy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
