http://tiddlytools.com/InsideTW/#WhatsInAName As noted in the link above, a "tiddler" is the nickname for a kind of small fish, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-spined_stickleback In addition to being small (like a TiddlyWiki tiddler), the stickleback also has other attributes that have metaphorical parallels with TW tiddlers and, while it might seem to some that "tiddler" is just a silly word or even something prurient or unsavory, there's a lot of good qualities implied by the name: The stickleback "shows great morphological variation" (TW tiddlers can hold a variety of information types) The stickleback "lives in seawater but breeds in fresh or brackish water" (TW tiddlers can be hosted online but developed locally off-line or on shared servers) The stickleback "displays elaborate breeding behavior" (TW tiddlers can be combined in numerous ways) The stickleback "can be social, living in shoals outside the breeding season" (TW tiddlers can be easily shared with groups of other people; e.g., via JSON exports) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
