Heavy user of mGSD here, love it. The practices and organization of
documentation need a good deal of help though.

I am using 3.1.7. The latest version mentioned on the blog is
currently 3.1.6. The actual latest version is 3.1.8c, which I only
found out by chancing to download a new blank copy. mGSD does not
publish a changelog, so I have no way of knowing what the differences
are between any given versions.

The main website has almost no information about mGSD. It sends me to
a separate resource for documentation, http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/MonkeyGTD,
which no longer exists, and to yet another site for the blog.

I found out through a blog post from February 2011 that the docs have
moved. So when I go to the new docs, and click on the "Updating"
instructions, I find that they don't work ("0 tiddlers to import).

This all makes for a very unfriendly experience which limits the reach
of your good work on the software.

In summary:
- Update the links on your http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/ website
- Fix your upgrade instructions in the docs
- Use a standard process for every release that includes posting a
full changelog, and at the very least a blog post

Long term, please consider actually using mGSD's main website as a
convenient source of info about the software. Right now instead of
providing the information one would expect, it sends you hunting
umpteen different directions to try and glean it out of blog posts and
newsgroup topics. Reformat at least the core, basic mGSD documentation
into a normal, linear format and put it on the main mGSD website
(tiddlers are a frustrating way to read documentation). Include new
releases and a changelog on the main website. Realize that you have
essentially a functioning, finished product here and treat it that
way! :-)
