Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the the indepth reply.
Being able to easily track and manage changes is essential, indeed. As you
know, I haven't even tried to commit much, but I'll do some more warm-up
exercises and I hope that will get things started.

I hope I'll do some of that.

That sounds great.
I have a mild worry that some features of tw5 require power-user, if not
developer-level knowledge. This shifts the focus away from providing
solutions towards solution design, which of course is an honorable exercise
but might be quite over the top for an everyday wiki user who is all the
more interested in solutions (how to use features) and designing content and
less in any under-the-hood widget-voodoo or macro-magic (how to design
functionality).
I am not sure what makes node.js a user-centric topic, it's at best an
admin / pro topic for a server environment which, again, requires some
tech-know-how and somewhat of a power user to be willing to run it and
understand what's going on.
Not sure if that's sensible, but perhaps there's room to extract some
chunks into a "pro" wiki, so that the spectrum from using solutions towards
developing them is split meaningfully, not only in terms of what is being
documented but especially how.
Theoretically, there could be more segmentation, like...
- tw5
- *focus: the solution(s) and how to use them*
- getting started, features, editions, apps, download, plugins,
resources, history, compact feature release notes
- pro
- *focus: developing solutions with wiki components, **server, OS*
- coding macros, filters, messages, mechanisms, variables, detailed
release
notes,
- node.js, commands
- dev
- widget- /plugin- /core-dev-guides, core documentation,
code-practices, github, contributing, languages
Best wishes, Tobias.
