It appears it falls onto me to make a decision on how to name the series, and we will just have to live with the consequences.
When I started writing this documentation, I felt it was for non-programmers. Along the way, I slowly swayed over to the belief that it would be better if it was for those who has some experience coding. Then the post by Birthe last week <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/b6TBlPPWRhM/lv-CSvbHAwAJ> put things back into perspective (and made me laugh): > > > > > > *I do not understand why you find "Beginners" off putting.

It also reminded me of Jeremy saying somewhere: *TiddlyWiki wasn't put together and designed for developers. Software > developers are already incredibly well catered for by the open source > world. This program explores how the non-developer can be empowered.* > So I have gone back to the basic reason I started writing this series, and will name it: TiddlyWiki for Beginners -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
