Nope. I did not try this hard, though.

And not a completely new project. Which would not be new at all. Honestly, I did not think about license issues. I do not know about emkay code, I assumed he would agree someone would modify it since it is all freely available and forkable on github, how candid of me. As for my code, I clearly give it to the community. I am more familiar with GPL, but BSD seems fine too. I do not know if I want to be more involved than that for the moment, like taking the responsibility to maintain a plugin, manage licenses, documentation, source comments, and all. I am just a simple user who happens to have some computer skills. In the meantime, I made other updates this afternoon (download from same place): - groups are now clickable - timeline is bounded within a nicely sized box - error messages are displayed in a popup instead of statically above the timeline - time axis is extended a bit before the soonest and after the latest items so that these do not appear on the border - I improved my layout tweaks a bit - I added an icon to the plugin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
