Ciao Mark The queries fell between two stools. On the one hand they have looked at the basic docs, on the other finding the Google Group a bit too much. Given that majority of people looking on Twitter for #TiddlyWiki are mostly techies, these 3 were no exception. I think that is interesting in itself. To give an example of a question I could not answer without referring to here: "How do you append to a list a title with spaces using a text reference?"
Obviously their question needs to be opened up more but its pretty good IMO to construct that question when you have no documentation at that level to refer to.
