I work for an engineering company and TiddlyWiki is something I use almost constantly. My company, however, would rather that I use another wiki program that is part of an integrated package. Without going into too much detail, the words that immediately come to mind when describing that program are "useless" and "vile." Although they've never prohibited me from using TiddlyWiki, they have raised questions that I can't easily answer such as "How secure is our corporate data?" and "How do you know it isn't transmitting data outside the company?" and finally "How do you know it won't damage the data on our network?"
My first reaction is to discount this as paranoia but I don't know the inner workings of TiddlyWiki well enough to know it isn't doing those things and I'm not sure anyone but Jeremy (and perhaps Eric) do know. I'm more worried about Google making copies of my data than I am Jeremy doing it. Still Firefox and most modern browsers have gone out of their way to prevent applications like TiddlyWiki from working. On a separate but related note, one of the math routines developed for TiddlyWiki used a separate math package to avoid using the "dangerous" javascript eval function. Could some malicious bastard create a plugin that could actually damage our computers or our data outside the Wiki? Does anyone know? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
