Adding an opinion to the pile in terms of making TiddlyWiki more popular - from someone who's spent more than a decade trying to convince friends and co-workers. Not a developer like many of you, just super-fan.
1. Name change would be *very welcome* (Reference US/Canada since this has come up). I usually try to avoid the "Tiddly" terminology as long as possible. I like/use "card" today when explaining and refer to TiddlyWiki as "a platform" - so I agree with others here. In terms of name I liked keeping TW and using the "Quine" aspect to make "Twine" which fits, but it looks like that's something already out there - and I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to TWactually by looking at it. 2. Agree with previous posts about a "standard" edition a little more complete than "empty" with some of the other defaults that people have mentioned. Also maybe something complete & universal that paints the picture as an option to give vision would be useful. There is some documentation referencing recipes (filters mostly) that is a good start. Maybe having a "cookbook edition" ready to use with a video on how to build yourself could get people to the "super-user stage" after they're hooked. 3. See there's discussion around "many ways to save". I love that there's lots of options, but I agree that maybe those other options should be secondary to a super easy default. Based on most other software, a TiddlySpot-like starting point for people getting their first exposure makes the most sense to me personally. Then have "other save options" for those who have more specific needs. 4. Along with the easy starting page, I think an introductory video should be nearly all you see on the homepage (aside from a "Start Here / Sign Up" link), and most of the other clutter hidden a bit. The video of Jeremy explaining the technical capabilities is functional, but something more upbeat and "problem-solving" would be more appropriate in my opinion. Something like "do you have this problem, this is how you could fix it with TWX!". Maybe in a voice that sounds excited about the software (sorry Jeremy, your tone doesn't come across as very excited :| ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
