But up on the STORE-FRONT (tiddlywiki.com) its too much IMO ... its > creating a "Malkovich Effect". > > Far better to have ONE universal method to start with to test it out > (maybe in an *online sandbox*?). > I agree our store front is probably overwhelming. Not quite sure what would be better. Some years ago Jeremy called for radical and bold suggestions for a remake of tiddlywiki.com. The following ideas are (obviously) not thought through; How about one single tiddler. That, with some veeery basic and brief instructions is all they get. There isn't much more to do there than to "make a note". If they want more, the must install plugins. Or maybe there's a introductory wizard. Again, you start with one tiddler but for every move you do, there is guidance about the options opening up. Entering edit mode... wizard informs about wikitext and links... tiddler saved ---> wizard tells you to click the/a link... after a while it brings up plugins.... Or maybe something more along https://keep.google.com ...which actually resembles http://muritest.tiddlyspot.com/ Maybe you could get a list of applications. You tick some preferences and click "Generate my TiddlyWiki"... that way you know more what it is "supposed" to do for you. ...I guess a question is why people look into TW to begin with. ...or is it perhaps happenstance and curiosity that put people in contact with TW and then it is the community - and discoverability in TW - that kind of foster peoples ideas about what to do? What *problems* do people have anyway... where TW is a potential answer? This is only one part of the "Getting TW Better Known" thing. And maybe I'm > wrong. But I think we'll do everyone a favour thinking more explicitly > about how to get TiddlyWiki better known in the easiest, graspable, > "I-do-want-to-try-it", way. And this issue should not be all on Jeremy > Ruston's shoulders. > As mentioned before, I tried to identify Appetizer TiddlyWikis <http://twaddle.tiddlyspot.com/#:%5B%5BAppetizer%20TiddlyWikis%5D%5D> that aim to be exactly that; "I-do-want-to-try-it"-TWs. IMO it would make sense to make "TW editions" - or, as I'd rather <http://twaddle.tiddlyspot.com/#Editions%20-%20an%20unfortunate%20term> call them; TW Applications - that are officially presented on tiddlywiki.com. I think the bar is pretty high to actually have something be accepted as an edition though and as long as we don't have any other official website / "app store" / distribution system then this is problematic. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
