Stories across the diversity of ways people use TW. I would "exemplary" uses. There are a few well-known ones already, e.g., Garret Lisi's Deferential Geometry http://deferentialgeometry.org/ and Elise Springer's Philosophy Department Homepage https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu/home/espringer/web/ and Reasoning Well http://reasoningwell.tiddlyspot.com/ One idea would be to have "how-tos" spring off from such exemplary applications, i.e., responding to hypothetical "how do I do that?" questions.

Re: [tw] Re: What's so special about Tiddly
I wrote, "I think TW has changed the way I think" > Now this is very interesting. Can you say more on this? Yes of course, its a pleasure to be asked, and valuable to me as well. OK, I am thinking about a couple of my recent posts on the icons and tagging [1] thread. It's the whole TW environment and interacting with it has some influence on the way I think. I combine the experience with other things too. I was talking about Action Learning in a phonecall today, and how a TW could be use in an Action Learning set, and how another community -- one interested in creativity in healthcare instance (which uses Action Learning) and -- might learn from the way in which the TW community works. I like cross pollinate things - it is the Manchester way - (the symbol of Manchester is the bee). I've learned a lot about answering and asking questions by being involved in the TW community too. I sometimes catch myself thinking about tiddlers and TW problems in the back of my mind as I walk (I'm interested in city wandering or Dérive [2]). The non-linear path though the city, and TW? Kind of the same? Maybe not, but I'm happy about not being rational all the time. Mistakes are good! I was inspired by reading The Acsent of Man [4]. Jacob Bronowski quotes Micheal Angelo, who, as well as being a sculptor dabbled in poetry. He wrote about the tool and mind making sculpture having the purpose of pushing the boundaries of what it is possible for one to think: the mind can't do it alone, the artifact is a by-product. I made a video [3] a while back about a tool I co-produced. (It was an attempt to build a thematic analysis tool using TW.) Unfortunately the link to the exact moment on the Acsent of Man on the youtube does not work - the video has been taken down, copyright no doubt. But i think it does get some of my ideas across about location, toolmaking and chance, if only in a rough form. I was introduced to praxis [5] when studying visual art. At the same time I got a computer with Tony Buzan software on it to help me with my learning difficulties. It made matters worse. After getting my own broadband I discovered TW via delicious when I read about tag clouds in the Guardian Technology section, way back when it was still printed. I then thought that TW could be a writing tool to develop ideas, and one that could be adapted. I hope to escape the tyranny of the tool - where the tool influenced the thought process. Of course TW does influence the thought process - like any tool or instrument of composition: a harmonica, an electric guitar a piano, any composition made using these instruments would sound like what has gone before. My theory is that at least if the tool is adaptable and living, then to possibility of creating something new exists. Its fine if the ambition to create something groundbreaking is not primary. Finally, I like the concept of osmosis and software (Osmosoft) - everything stacks up nicely from my perspective. I like linking things together. TW and the TW environment is a good place for this kind of thing.

Re: [tw] Re: What's so special about Tiddly
Eric, I think you make a good point here [1] I also think that stories from people using TW would be interesting. I suspect that people have quite personal relationships with their TW, and they often contain private thoughts, so sharing can be a problem Alex [1] Sophisticated users, especially developers, are generally not good at writing documentation. What is needed is a writer who can put himself or herself in the position of a naive adopter.

What is needed is decent documentation, sufficient at least for getting potential adopters who are not developers, who are attracted by the potential practical applications of TiddlyWiki in their own work, over the hump of initial bafflement. Most of the available documentation, on the websites and in the PlugInInfo tiddlers that accompany many plugins, is as obscure as TiddlyWiki itself is to the potential non-developer adopter. E.g., some don't bother to mention dependencies on other readily available plugins. Sophisticated users, especially developers, are generally not good at writing documentation.

Re: [tw] Re: What's so special about Tiddly
Now this is very interesting. Can you say more on this? 1) Which aspects of TiddlyWiki changed the way you think? And how? Ideas in a stack, one on top of each other. The container of a thought having three elements, title, text and tags. TW introduced me to object orientatedness. Wiki as a hypertext tool - came across hypertext studying art (hyperlink the most exciting to happen to text since punctuation - Mark Berstein) . Convinced that writing hypertext links with punctuation - [[like this]] -- is the way to go. Brainstorming New Tiddler is always like 'the wet edge' (metaphor of painting a door : "always keep a wet edge ensures you have smooth edge" - family folk law). I like MPTW's newMeansNew - but only having one new tiddler on the go at one time is a constraint that I like. Since I started playing with code, the idea of refactoring, re-writing at different levels of abstraction has leached into my note writing. I like to think that learning about writing code has made my writing and thinking clearer. I use Firefox extention Ubiquity. I can select a word, evoke ubiquity then search in the background in the tab to the right. This makes workflow - from note to search very quick, and doing this in the background prevents interruptions to my flow. The workflow -- reviewing my open tabs when there are too many -- is something which fits with TW. which I have in the left hand side tab. Adaption I've moved the new tiddler button to the MainMenu, so that flow goes left to right. I've experimented with where I generate new thoughts from -- this would not be possible with another tool. At the moment I have a newHere button at the right of each tiddler and from the Tagging div. HyperText not MindMaps After a long period of chopping and changing, I think hypertext is better than visual and mapping arrangements. Visual representations tend to get driven by aesthetic considerations. Mindmaps: the links between objects are thin lines, you can't add info to them without them looking ugly, or re-drawing lines as object - it never feels right. The tags being tiddlers themselves makes the relationship between object and relationship seem more equal. i enjoy your question... i've not finsihed yet!

Re: [tw] Re: What's so special about Tiddly
For me its the ability to change TW without being a Computer Science specialist. Its about making my own tool to aid my own thinking. Also, I like community aspect, i read messages every day and enjoy reading about developments. There is a soap opera angle for me -- hope this does not sound so strange. I think TW has changed the way I think. I arrived at TW after using many tools - mindmaps and Compendium (an open university hypertext mapping project) The fact that TW works in the browser makes it easy to cut and paste from the internet is a big plus.

Re: [tw] Re: What's so special about Tiddly
I'd maybe emphasise an aspect that Eric Shulman mentioned: with TiddlyWiki, you can control your own data much more directly than using a service like WordPress. Many TiddlyWiki users value features that emerge from this capability: the ability to keep documents TiddlyWikis private, the ability to add TiddlyWikis to source code control systems, the ability to email TiddlyWikis, or store them on a USB stick. In contrast, online services are often easier to use, but you have to trust the operators to look after your data. TiddlyWiki users can feel confident that their TiddlyWiki documents will still be accessible in the decades to come.
