Is it possible, please, for a group to stand back and look at the public face of TW? What does a tyro see when he starts looking without anyone who knows his way around alongside him to train him? OK, the Classic TW is somewhat deprecated now, however recent changes like the loss of BT have not left a coherent model - you can end up hopping from repository to repository until the trail ends in a 404 dead link, and grammar references are getting thin. It's all very well advanced users knowing their way around, however coming back to using it after a couple of years has given me a fresh outlook which is less than impressed, it's rather chaotic: you need to take people from toddler to pro, so if I'm looking for the grammar of how to use a slider, for example, I can - at the moment I can't. I evenually found it in my own archive, as I saw this coming.
It's not my intention to start any kind of flame war, simply to ask that you see yourselves as others see you and have a fresh look - at the moment you've got so specific counting angels on the heads of pins (I'm a mediaevalist these days, by that I mean attending to the minutiae of relatively minor headaches) you've lost sight of the overview, it rather appears. Perhaps you should ask Google to place a preferred autorised start point at the top of any search: at the moment add-ins are offered the same priority on search engines as TW itself, and when one adds in the different dialects used by customised variants, it's chaotic. Sorry about being a little contentious, I'm trying to raise a delicate subject, to allow you to see yourselves as others might see you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
