This discussion is a waste of time. The key component for such a system to be successful is not features. It is people.
Before setting up stuff etc etc the first thing to investigate is if the active people here are actually going to use it. And the "active people" are not necessarily the cheering individuals in this thread (who are just now thinking: "I hate that Mat guy, he is a party pooper. I would for sure change forums if it is better!"). The active users can be found here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/tiddlywiki>. My own reply is: Unlikely. For me to change, there would first have to be a lot of people there. So it is a catch 22 situation. GG has a first mover advantage. even if we changed, most systems would not enable us to transfer the huge knowledge base that we have accumulated here so one would have to go back and forth. Ain't doin' it. As I've said before when this pops up (...because it pops up every now and then, and I was once one of the enthusiastic ones) I can only see one realistic solution and that is TWederation, i.e a system that is basically integrated or at least connected with your own wiki. One subscribes to topics and shares tiddlers with information. There is an intrinsic incentive to use this system for obvious reasons. Jed is the one who has pushed this the furthest (he has a working solution for inter-wiki communication) but there is no actual system that could be used as a forum, at least not a good enough one. I am working on some UI matters for this but currently on a hiatus because it is complex and working on it is very demanding in many respects. Anyone serious about changing forums should dig into TWederation, federation etc instead. Don't waste time on other software because, again, this is about *people*.... and TW. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
