Hi Yoann I'm watching everyday TW5 progress > https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commits/master and it seems to > be moving forward very fast right now !
> It seem's realy promissing ! > Thank you. Over the last few days I've added a lot of the familiar TiddlyWiki user interface features - http://five.tiddlywiki.com/ is now looking a lot how I'd like it. > I have started to use it. I have some saving problems (Ubuntu 12.10 FF19 + > TiddlyFox) but non blocking ones. > > My question is rather about the roadmap, when will a first alpha be > released ? > TiddlyWiki5 is already in alpha. The next milestone will be the first beta, which is intended to be the point at which TW5 is useful to end users. There will then be a series of betas until we as a community judge it to have settled down, at which point we'll declare 5.0 released. (And amongst other things switch it over from five.tiddlywiki.com to being the main tiddlywiki.com frontpage. During the alpha and beta periods I am freely making changes which break compatibility of existing content; at the end of the beta we'll freeze the core. > I would like to start to use it for real.

Hopefully quite soon; it's certainly a necessity if we want people to be able to conveniently test it. > TW5 is on the road to success in my opinion. > Many thanks, I'm pretty pleased with it myself now. The only thing that bothers me is about conding our own plugins. I'm not > sure but It seems a bit compliacated right now, compared to the old TW. > More complex means more powerful, but less hackable. > TW5 has a much more thought-through and usable API, and a much more flexible plugin mechanism. It's still possible to hack TW5 by dropping in a JavaScript tiddler. > Anyway, I can't wait ;-) > Do you know if a release date can be forseen ? I'm hoping to hit beta in the next two or three months, and then perhaps have the first release two or three months after that. As I say, though, the release schedule will be determined to a great extent by the reaction of the community. Many thanks for the encouragement!
