Tiddlywiki has no 'history' per say, so yes, it is easy to erase things permanently. You can do a 'backup' but that option creates a new file each time. with the limited space on the XO, this is probably not a good idea.
indeed. i also envisioned that other tabs could be added by the different deployments for anything specific they wanted. i know this is probably low on the list of things to do, but it is something I'd help with if there is interest. -j ----- Original Message ---- From: Samuel Klein <s...@laptop.org> To: Jacob Haddon <tha...@yahoo.com> Cc: devel@lists.laptop.org Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 12:37:41 PM Subject: Re: Browse Start Page Thanks, Jacob. It would be good to see other very different designs for the front page as well. I think it's important to include easy ways to - search for help and info about OLPC/XO/Sugar [with links to Help activity?] - learn about python / smalltalk / C / source / programming in general - search the web [with options for diff. engines] - search the computer [for documents / metadata; with links to journal-search?] TiddlyWiki in my experience is easy to mess up and be unable to restore... are there solutions for this now?
