Mat, Also see my reply to Mario.

They will only see a refined presentation or interface to the tiddler as the designer intends. However even with a single user/designer it allows simplification, built for purpose tiddler based views, once you build something you just use it. I for one often find myself hitting edit on a tiddler I do not need to edit when I meant to select a tiddler listed by it, say work in progress tasks. Once you build a task list, it will look like a task list, not a tiddler functioning as a task list. > > Or is the idea to use it for multi-user-TWs?

Ideally such solutions may be a "gateway drug" into tiddlywiki. We are often casual users of our own designs so it can help the sole designer/user as well. I have being using Jeds multi-user which I would call multi-access and I am confident once I learn how to host it for other users (outside my LAN) however a compelling use is so you can open multiple instances and never overwrite yourself on the same desktop with multiple browser tabs and sessions. It allows you to "clone" tiddlywiki sessions without fear of overwrite. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
