(Note: This is addressed directly to you developers but it is not about programming so if there is little discussion here then I hope double-posting it in the TW group is ok.)
As a mere TW user/fan, I'm curious to hear what you developer guys think/intend - or even just hope - for the future of TW. Here are some specific questions, but please express whatever other thoughts you have on TW trends. No commitments. Pretend we've all got a cold beer in our hands :-) * Do I understand it right that there are currently *three major* and, from a regular end-user-point, incompatible paths in the going, i.e; classic TW, TiddlyWeb, TW5. More? * If I understand it right, TiddlyWeb adds a fundamentally different set of features to what is possible in classic TW. For this reason, I'm wondering if TW5 is being designed with any respect to TiddlyWeb? * Are there any quantitatively different features (from an end users veiw!) that TW5 is intended to provide that are not possible with classic TW? E.g going from "wiki markup to wysiwyg markup" doesn't really change what is possible with TW whereas many of the core concepts behind TiddlyWeb do differ very much from what is possible with classic TW. How will TW5 compare with classic TW in this regard? * Since Osmosoft holds the core team of developers and because it is also the official representative for new releases (correct? It does own tiddlywiki.com to name one thing, right?) then I'm wondering what the intentions are on the future for classic TW. I.e is active development for it going to be abandoned in Osmosoft? * Any particular reflections on how, or if, TW5 and TiddlyWeb (and more?) are evolving to/with the various tec trends we see? Since the inception of TW, a few things have happened - most notably perhaps the partial transition to mobile devices and also the increased popularity of social services (facebook, chatting, skype...) and more. Obviously most trends and fads are reflected on the plugin level, but I'm asking if you consider some things fundamental enough to justify considerations at core level? I don't expect any consensus on these blurry matters, I'm just curious to hear your thoughts on this.
