The discussion is clearly misnamed by now, but anyway; It was split because it became unsustainable to use the site itself as the development place for the site. I guess one could say the mixup of the real thing with the meta aspects got confusing. Although I admit it is an experimental process. > There are: > 1)tiddlyworld .. > 2)community .. > 3)communitydev .. I will try to erase tiddlyworld. I hope the distinction between 2 and 3 will get clearer as I clean them up a little. BTW, I've added you as a member so feel free to do whatever you feel is good. (You do mention that you like the name "tiddlyworld"... are you saying it's better than "community"? I felt that particularly newbies get confused enough as it is with all them tiddlyshmiddlys (tiddlywiki, tiddler, tiddlyspace, tiddlyspot...). I wanted the name to be neutral particularly since the URL already contains the t word. Also, I kind of like the idea that the name refers to what it is and that it rides on an established term "the tiddlywiki community". > 4)showroom .. > 5)semantic .. I don't quite see how you include 'semantic' in this list (it has a very different purpose, no?). Showroom is something that I imagine could be included in the community site to fill up the Showroom section there but we're not quite there yet - if it is to happen at all. Showroom is solely Tobias project (as far as I know) whereas the community site is "the communitys" to develop. Also, the purpose of showroom may not be quite the same as the purpose of the showroom section in the community site in spite of the striking similarity in names ;-) > For me they are somehow related. All of them want to have many > contributors. Some of them deal with the same topics. eg: showroom and > tiddlyworld. You know, you have a point in that the Showroom for the community space may be superfluous as the Downloads section kind of serves the same thing! I'm removing the Showroom section in the community space, for now. However, I was not aware of Tobias ambitions to have people contribute to his showroom space though. (The "contributors list" there seem to be more a tribute to TW titans in general.) But, I can only speak from the community space view, where the idea is to have anyone put in information and the community voting etc. Generally, the community space is aimed at handling the exact problem you address; there is so much redundance in the dispersed TW community and you don't know where to find stuff. Look at all the admirable and good hearted plugin compilations for instance. It is impossible for the poor individual behind those TWs to keep them up to date and there is no possibility for the community to e.g rank the plugins or comment on them etc in those TWs. Hopefully the benefits with a central and collaborative compiling reference place will be evident soon. Great objections - it helps define the concept! :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
