Re: newbie confusion
If you have some type of technical background or an interest in learning various computer "stuff" then I can recommend TW and the variants here. I find TW extremely useful and fascinating although I struggle with it A LOT. If you don't enjoy this then I would suggest you don't bother because although some polished versions of TW may appear slick in the beginning, you're bound to reach a point pretty soon where you must do 'stuff', such as updating, installing plugins, tweaking etc etc. Just go with other manifestations of GTD if that is the case.

Re: newbie confusion
Short answer yes. For the long answer read on: I've been using D3 for about a year and have been very pleased. I initially looked at Mgtd and it made no sense to me. Although I must say I happened to look at Mgtd again a couple of days ago and had moment of clarity where I could appreciate its elegance. Still, I think I still prefer how you can arrange a project quickly within a single tiddler in D3. From what I understand of Mgtd projects are solely reference through tags cross references. D3' linear nature feels more comfortable to me at this point anyway. Quick hint. Learn about the D3 short hand to enter a tiddler directly in edit mode ..Put you action here|@home_computer This works real nice. I do a lot a vb programming as well as working in C++. But I haven't really worked with Css or javascript. Up until recently, I've been using D3 without any programming. I started getting gucci within the last month or so which did need some macros. Tom Otvos (who packaged D3) was very helpful and helped me through it. I think you'll do just fine not knowing how to program using D3. I think if you run into a problem people on this group will help you out. Give it a try.. If it doesn't work try again, ask or try something else. :) Regards, JT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group.

newbie confusion
Hi, I am new to both GTD and TiddlyWiki and d3. I've learned about GTD and understand its basic. I found D3 today and it seemed straightforward. My problem is I don't know anything about web tech, like HTML, java, any kind of code, and anything too complicated. So, I am a little unsure whether to get the best of these TW GTD systems (like MonkeyGTD and D3) I will need to know code. TW has all these weird-sounding little links on the right hand column, and I am not sure what all these things are for. And also, in the sample D3, a sample project mentions a gtdAction macro. I have no idea what a macro is and how to use it. Without knowing and using any code, can I get by using these tools to improve my workflow?
