This has been mentioned before, but couldn't the community agree to use a different, multi-user wiki for the help file, or manual, or watchamacallit... At least, while TW5 remains single-user and incapable of that task?
I'm thinking of wiki-how and fandom community wikis, for example, whose contents get filled so easily. Very entry-level, with links to related Google Groups threads and permalinks to popular personally-maintained tiddlywikis, while a simpler write-up hasn't been written in yet by a contributor... Apologies if this is an ignorant question. On Thursday, November 16, 2017 at 12:58:57 AM UTC+9, Furicle wrote: > > I am having a ridiculously complicated time trying to use TW.
