I'm not saying it can't be anyone else, but I'm just thinking that it is realistically unlikely that someone would want to take wider responsibility. I am emphasizing "actually make this be real as opposed to hypothetically" to move us away from pipe dreams. A consensus on Github would mean people have a clearer understanding on what it takes to "publish a TW app" (assuming they want their app to be part of this consensus). Currently everyone does his/her own thing like a chicken on the loose. We totally miss out on synergy. If we have a consensus on Github then the skilled among us might just feel it would be worth it to create a solution for simpler publishing of TWs on Github, thereby lowering the threshold to be both the auteur and the publisher. (BTW, I believe @Danielo already did some work on this). IMO much more will be achieved in recognising that author's of work are > NOT, often, their best (or interested) promoters. > Exactly!!! That is why it makes sense to keep things as framed inside the consensus as possible. For example; "if you publish it on github as opposed to anywhere else, then you automatically get the github tools for sharing but you also get our community tidbits such as the TW-promo-plugin and the standard texts to put on the github page that makes both your app and the other TW-apps get higher ranks because they're 'synced'. If you're NOT interested in promoting, then the easiest thing should be to 'join the consensus'. ... SO, good people, what would it take to do this on github? How could such a thing be organized? What tools do we have at our disposal? Would TW developers be at all interested or is everyone really a lone cowboy? There are clearly people who simply enjoy creating cool stuff in TW and publishing it for the sake of it (I'm one of them) so I think it could work if it is in an infrastructure that doesn't get outdated even if it only slowly is contributed to. Again, [something like] Github is probably more or less a "practical requisite" for entry points to actually work. Compare it to Apples "app store" perhaps. It's the closest thing I can come up with (since my previous main attempt with TWederation has not worked out.) <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
