But I think, the communitydev space is quit usable allready for the
community contributors. But there are not many at the moment :)
Hey folks jump in http://communitydev.tiddlyspace.com/#Contact

Important: comments is only available for members!! (at the moment)

I implemented the tiddlyWebComments/comments plugin. For me an maias
it works right well.
I did one mini bug fix and some tweaking, that comments are
excludeLists but the root tiddler is updated. So Activity stream works
very well.

+1. I think I removed the most redundant things allready. But needs to
talk (skype) with matias. I think programmers have a different point
of view here.

I think communitysupply allready is very minimal. A theme will be
welcome, but is too early. Let's this discuss at the communitydev
space.

> 5) I think we would do good with a "community-sandbox".
-1. I use communitydev space. If you need to test alpha plugins. Your
own sandbox needs to be used. I think beta is fine for communitydev,
but it shouldn't break it (for long :))

I think information tiddlers should be as fast as possible transfered
to the community space. see above

I like your improved typeWith.me "experiment". Let's have the comments
in communitydev and typeWith.me in semantic space. As a new experiment
and see what happens.

This would be cool, since I think it would nicely fit for both
community and communitydev.

Spam and spammers have influenced the design of TiddlySpace in a couple of ways:
- The basic content model of being able to write into your own space,
but not having any "common" areas, means that spammers at least need
to have an account, which gives us a choke point
- The following mechanism pulls out the content that you're interested
in, making it less likely that you'll see spam as an end user

Philosophically, I'm interested in social measures more than anything.
I quite like the idea of a TiddlySpace service that, like early
Facebook, only makes accounts available to individuals with an
accreditation to a trusted organisation.

Cheers

Jeremy

I had no idea. You (and others?) are doing a great job, to say the
least. My humble thanks.

I'm sure your're right. It is outside the scope of the community space
of course (For now I'd be *happy* if there was a working forum there
even if it was filled with spam ;-)
Maybe you have any thoughts or opinions on a form built in TW for the
community space?

I've been moderator for this group (and TiddlyWikiDev) since 2005...

... and believe me, we *do* get spam!  However, all messages from
first-time posters are sent to me (and the other admins) for review
and approval before being posted/sent to the rest of the group.  In
the past, there was a LOT of spam (sometimes dozens in a single day).
Fortunately, Google has improved their filters, so they can block
obvious spam without even sending it for approval, so there's much
less spam for the moderators to deal with.

Also, in my opinion, a robust *technical* mechanism and strategy for
dealing with spammers is essential for TiddlySpace to achieve more
wide-spread acceptance and future success.  In light of the *current*
'unknown-ness' of TiddlySpace, it seems to me that *now* is the right
time to begin finding solutions, before the spam actually becomes a
problem in the first place.

(As replied in that other thread;
I felt that particularly newbies get confused enough
as it is with all them tiddlyshmiddlys (tiddlywiki, tiddler,
tiddlyspace, tiddlyspot...). I wanted the name to be neutral
particularly since the URL already contains the t word. Also, I kind
of like the idea that the name refers to what it is and that it rides
on an established term "the tiddlywiki community".
...but I do agree; tiddlyworld is a *cooler* name, but...!)


One-stop-shop; you're of course right. The aim is not to omit the need
for other spaces. The community site is intended to be one-stop in
that you'll should be able to *find* those other spaces and places not
least via references. 'Including' will likely be used a lot as well as
standard links.

Would that construction be viable for the community site?
Regarding spam, I think tiddlyspace is still so unknown that it should
be a minor problem. (Do we get spamming in here for example? This
google group is not moderated as far as I know, or? )


(I must cut my reply here to go to bed, but figured I should reply
quickly to your initial questions here at least.)

As I wrote in the other post about tiddlyworld main menu. Please keep
the "tiddlyworld" space for the "real" content and move its existing
"dev/example" content into an other space. I think the name

one-stop-shop ... nice. But it doesn't mean, that every content has to
be written inside tiddlyworlds space. Including works very well
allready.
I am pretty sure, that there will be some possibilities to filter
tiddlers from other spaces and include them, in the future.

I personally want to use my own layout, because I like it. But on the
other hand I may like some content, that is published on other spaces.
So I include them and display them with attribution to the author. My
visitors, get my point of view.

I think the menues will evolve, when content evolves. At the moment,
ther is a very well thought project description. That now needs to be
turned into the desired content.

There are some tests going on, using TSpace as a forum. But I think,
there is still a lot of work to do there.

I don't like this.


The comments plugin works quite well with tiddlyspace. It could be
used. But there is the disadvantage of easy spamming, because everyone
needs to have write access to the groups space.

If you reply to a topic at the moment, you write to your own space and
the "descussion" software "collects" the topics. If you produce spam,
then you only spam your own account. For the others disabling a
spammer is easy. Delete the follow tag, or delete the spammersName
tiddler.  Done

The problem here is, that at the moment, only topics are fetched, from
spaces, that you follow. The following space has the macros that are
needed.

I made some tests. But they faild, because you need to follow someone
to get the activity stream. And you have to use your home space to get
all the activities.

I like the name groupie for a space that follows everyone :)

I have installed typeWith.me at my teamwork experiment.

It wasn't great success. But it is painless, and I also found a
