Many thanks for the interesting discussion. Just a few points relating to recent posts:
* The Reddit experiment looks pretty promising, and I’d welcome other opinions as to its suitability to replace Google Groups for casual discussion (or indeed as a way of gathering links for the front page of tw.com <http://tw.com/>) * As Tobias points out, post-Google Groups, StackOverflow might be a natural place for developer Q&A that doesn’t fit GitHub I should emphasise again that I’m aware that the slow update cycle for tiddlywiki.com <http://tiddlywiki.com/> is a significant hold up to making improvements, and hope to pay attention to the problem in 2017, Best wishes Jeremy. > On 17 Dec 2016, at 07:02, Tobias Beer <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Josiah, > > You brought up TWEderation as an example for let's say "more scattered" > information than you'd like that somehow doesn't organize nearly as good as > you wish and where you believe reddit could provide a better environment to > more efficiently bring the lose pieces together. > > The first point I would make is that TWEderation is a community effort (one > which I have hardly been involved in due to a new job I've been working for > the better part of this year now, sry about that, Jed & Mat).
