Add-on? Guide and Help pages for TW Guide and help pages made for the custom applications of TW I had created for easy to access info on use of TW and my custom application to ensure an easier first use experience. I have found the first time experience to be the deciding factor for the most users, only a portion with the motivation will take the extra effort to learn something, too many will abandon it if requires too much effort. Basically I'm presenting initial guidance right where the user is-- in the wiki and easily accessible while they're first learning TW. Call me old school, but I believe the visual TW page layout will help illustrate layout and item locations without resorting to external video.
http://pyewackit.net/scratchingpad/guide/TWguidedocs.html There is probably already much better versions of what I had done by users who have been working with TW much longer than I-- there's so much good stuff of their's out there that I have only seen a fraction of. But I had to be like Frank Sinatra and do it my way. My intent to the method of madness: For users of a custom application of TW that had been created for them, to explain the wiki and the custom features tailored to their needs. Bundled with the custom application like a program's help section and tutorials for utmost convenience to ensure its successful first time use by the user. Not meant to replace more detailed help information at the official TW documentation site but to supplement it with basic introductory information, hopefully written clear and simple enough for easy understanding. This also makes for a convenient central place for links to various controls and features of TW the user will need to know of; as well as more detailed information sources, especially considering TW's default GettingStarted (and its link to official resources) once removed from the default start up tiddler option becomes lost to normal searching since its a shadow tiddler. What is planned is more integration, use and referencing of help and reference features already present in TW. Located in a easily noticed location to be found and referenced during use of the software. I've noticed that the .18 pre-release has a "help" icon in the main page controls bar which would be prefect for me to attach my help files for my custom applications of TW. That "help" would also take care of TW's default GettingStarted (and its link to official resources) once removed from the default start up tiddler option becomes lost to normal searching since its a shadow tiddler. I have tried to utilize what TW already had built into it. Anyone is free to use this help pages package in entirety or parts of it. NOTES: *work in progress *No color or theme adjustments were done, everything is using theme default TW theme. Unfortunately, it is not possible for this author to know how this appears with the standard TW theme and palette. *still in the process of learning formatting and the default TW templates so formatting isn't as polished as I would like it. *Format and text is still being fine tuned. *Better integration, use and referencing of help and reference features already present in TW is planned. Is there a better place to host something like this other in a subdirectory of my domain? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
