Not a redditer and no time for that, sorry. Overall, your response (and thanks btw) just adds to the plethora of TW sites. I guess my feeling is that TW is all over the shop and it would be better off bringing as much as possible under one roof, except for the code.
I searched Google Groups on TiddlyWiki and didn't find or overlooked Tiddlywikidev; thanks for pointing it out. Now there's that and Reddit and StackExchange and this is progress? I'm not convinced yet. And these things aren't even on the TiddlyWiki home page, which was explicitly part of the point of the comparison with Mint and which doesn't arise from any technology differences. > Mediawiki etc. I understand the distinctions your trying to make and I appreciate the difference. My point was wondering whether TW has perhaps hobbled itself from the user engagement POV by not using a wiki (and discussion forum with file sharing) with user authentication alongside TW. Perhaps this is heretical? > a twederation project As an occasional user here, not monitoring a blog or a newsletter, I don't have any idea better than a guess what this about and there's nothing on TiddlyWiki.com about it. The first comments I could find in Google Groups were from someone saying he couldn't understand it. If I can be blunt this is one of the things that's a bit wearying about TiddlyWiki -- fragments of information all over the place (many of which, historically, have not survived) and no proper structured communication that would provide an alternative to stepping into the river here and watching everything that goes by. I don't have time, and I don't think TiddlyWiki is going to scale as it could if that doesn't change. Overall, I was suggesting stepping back and looking at other projects not just going on adding more different sites. I realize that some throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks is part and parcel of how FOSS works but ... Maybe it's time for some stocktaking? But if everyone is ok with the current situation I'll get my coat. > map for users Indeed, a map for users would be creepy if it disclosed anything about them without consent. However, it's an opt-in map of weather stations and people who run weather stations are often interested to check their records against other stations once in a while. The only thing necessarily disclosed is "there's a weather station here running WeeWX software". Raspberry Pi groups and others use maps to let people see where there may be birds of a feather. Most discussion forum software has optional profile info. So, maybe not *that* creepy, but indeed, maybe not all that relevant. I was just mentioning some things I like. The map could be a show case or register of sites compiled by users by embedding data in a wiki. The intended thrust of my remarks about WeeWX was how nicely everything was presented (although also using Google Groups and github!) and findable from the home page. The last thing I want to do is snark about commendable efforts people are making now. Instead: discuss whether there are things worth borrowing in terms of approaches to user engagement that might be worth accommodating in the context of a fresh start or reorganization rather than accretion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
