I didn't see a lot of response to my suggestion to adopt http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/TiddlyWiki as a community project, so I'll give it a clean thread. I certainly understand Jeremy's reaction that TiddlyWiki is a more obvious form for educating about TiddlyWiki, and for reference material and detailed guidance, I agree. On the other hand, it could confuse the casual surfer who may be familiar with Wikipedia to find that while you can click view, you can't actually change anything on a web-hosted TW.
Furthermore, the growing segment of "post-PC" readers with their tablet devices, is probably more reachable with something more akin to a book. Imagine, say * She in a deckchair with her Amazon Kindle * He in his armchair with his iPad (it's need for gravitational support is the main reason I don't have one). While they aren't likely to start writing blogs the next day, I feel that it's a worthwhile efford to try to convey the message that there are better alternatives for most one-way communication than Facebook on the one end and Microsoft Word on the other. A book on TW and it's derivatives, be it http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/TiddlyWiki or other, should in my opinion have a broader focus than that which was probably intended by whoever started it. But that's also what in my opinion could make it fun to write. Particularly for those of us who buy into the original wiki concept of collaborative writing. After all, the book form allows more freedom to digress than web publishing in general. Anyway, to sort of get the ball rolling again, I've started by trying to give the introduction some more words for a broader reach and hopefully, a mental image that makes sense. Join me if you like, use the discussion page, or shoot it down if that's how you feel. I don't have a lot of time to put into it, but to me it's the sort of thing I might do late in the evening.
