Just to make it clear it's not that I' particularly fond of Google groups, it's just "good enough". As a tool it works fairly well but it's not extraordinarily remarkable or efficient. It feels kind of buggy at times and stagnated, I think google hasn't updated it in ages and it feels abandoned. I just think the benefits of moving haven't outweighed the trouble of migrating *yet.*
As for TWederation I have only been to the forums very superficially lately; I've heard the term thrown around several times but didn't quite grasp the whole concept behind it. >From what I gathered it's about "federation" right? As in show external content from other sources (possibly other TiddlyWikis?) under the same host wiki, am I right? Kind of like the plugins library currently works, if I am not mistaken?Is that it or am I far off? Anyone care to explain in few words what it is? Genuinely curious.
