Hi again Riz First of all; I appreciate your questions. I tried to answer them the best I could, which included questioning some of them because some were based on misunderstandings or assumptions that didn't make sense to me. Another option would be to not reply but I think that is less constructive.
I disagree; consider any internet search engine for example. The idea to >> put everything in a pretty tree structure was abandoned decades ago. >> > > Well here is the first link to the google search "Examples of Best > Documentation". > https://documentor.in/2148/best-examples-product-documentation-guides/ > What all of the have in common, is organization. > Well, my point was that even something as huge as the web can be searchable by using a different approach. Documentation does not have to be put under hierarchical titles in the traditional sense, to be useful. And, especially, it wouldn't necessarily have to be *manually* organized in such a way. TW provides us with rather powerful tools to organize stuff. If you "know TW" then the learning curve to "know TWederation" should >> probably not be that tricky. >> > > Know TW being the keyword. > True. Fetching means to copy what you want. At least in curren implementation. >> There can also be a community aggregation for someting as important as >> docs, i.e it can be an aggregating place much like tiddlywiki.com. >> <http://tiddlywiki.com> > > > Here is a situation. I made a write-up on something. It is now part of the > documentation. UserB fetched it. Now I delete it. Tomorrow another person > is coming along looking for the write up. Will he be able to find the write > from UserB's copy? Remember UserB has not shared it from his wiki nor is he > aware of the fact that I have deleted it. > In the current(!!) implementation of TWederation, if UserB is not sharing it well then he can't find it, there. If it is an important piece of documentation, why was it only shared with UserB? Why not to a community doc aggregation? What else will happen tomorrow? >> > > I am going to disagree with your tone here. Should I file it under "Wits > and Sarcasm from Internet strangers?" > [ + ...what if Tiddlyspot closes down ] > First of all; no offense meant. My point is just that; Yes, what *will* happen? Will there be a backup system? Will browsers start blocking some key feature that TW itself relies on, not just TWedreation? We don't know and it is hard to work preemptively on this. And who should work on this? Nobody is getting paid here. We don't even have resources to have documentation that people find sufficient. So it is probably better to deal with these very-hard-to-predict-matters when/if they occur. You're right, TiddlySpot won't last forever. Especially considering how much people like you and I are paying them for their service. The risk of it closing down is very much part of the whole system and we can only e joy it while it lasts, just like free browsers and other free or paid services. let me save you sime time: Ain't gonna happen. Not that I wouldn't want it >> to happen but it has proven to simply not work, for several reasons. >> > > Has such an effort where people are asked to submit documentation in > return for the help from this group already tried? Can you show a part > where it was tested? > Yes; tiddlywiki.org is one such attempt. One of the most successful ones, I might add, and still not a success. But don't take my word for it; please do go ahead. I'd add an article or two because I would want it to work. I just "know" it won't. No offense. > Besides, if people did already get the solution "from the group" i.e here >> on the boards(!) ...then it is already here and you can find it here. >> > > Then pray tell me, how come this group begets several questions a day. > Yes, ironic, but I'd say it is because we're dealing with a very complex product. Or perhaps very "unlimited" product and the community consists of people with a wide variety of needs and levels of skill. > How come people still come up empty when they look for -say - how to add a > border to a tiddler? or how to hide a single field? I do not think it is > the first time anyone wanted to have a button that moves a tiddler up the > story-river. It is an easy solution. Jed answered it beautifully and > demonstrated several methods to achieve the same. Now try and search for > "Move tiddler up" or "Move tiddler up the sory-river." How deep do you have > to go to find Jed's answer? > Yes, the search in Google groups is astonishingly poor considering it's google. Ok, hope this clarifies a bit.
