Okay, listened to the whoooole Youtube video while multitasking. My 
comments and reactions:

1. No mention was made of the drafts of initial end-user documentation I 
wrote up, and Jeremy hasn't followed up with me regarding a TiddlySpot or 
TiddlySpace in which he was going to store that documentation. Is that 
still on the table? Or maybe it wasn't what you were looking for? What is 
happening with that?

2. I am dabbling with a script for a rough draft of a video that could go 
on TiddlyWiki5 for end-users. I will record it and add some VERY 
rudimentary visuals to it as I am able.

3. I am beginning to think that TiddlyWiki5 itself is not the best place to 
have links to the themes, plugins, macros, guides, examples, tutorials, etc.
a. I think TiddlyWiki5 should have a tab called "Customize" or "Pimp your 
notes" or "Goodies" or something like that, and in the tab, there is one 
external link "Find themes for your TiddlyWiki" that takes you to an 
official TW full of themes and style hacks, moderated via Github, but where 
the new user doesn't even have to know about Github to access it.
b. In the same tab would be a second external link called "Find goodies for 
your TiddlyWiki" that opens the official plugin/widget/macro TiddlyWiki. 
Again, this TiddlyWiki would be moderated via Github, but all the new user 
would see are the tiddlers, which again they can drag and drop to their own 
TioddlyWikis. 
Entering either of these would function like a grab bag of free stuff you 
can pilfer to your heart's content and add to your own TiddlyWikis. Kind of 
like the webpage for Firefox addons. This idea is so that TiddlyWiki5 
doesn't get either too bloated, filesize wise, or too complicated to 
navigate. It is also so that there is a quick way to get to the official 
themes, goodies, adaptations, etc that make TiddlyWiki so addicting and 
customizable.
c. There could also be an external link from TW5 to a separate site, 
probably not a TiddlyWiki, with guides, testimonials, tutorials, examples, 
links to user adaptations, and community. Not sure what that would look 
like, but should be easy for users to navigate via a dead simple TOC to get 
to what they need. Part social connection, part Google groups, part toolbox?

4. For the record, you Facebook haters, I use Facebook every day! But then 
I live and work in a second culture and it is a great way to keep up with 
people back home, and also connect with students and others outside of 
seminary, etc. I know what I need it for, and limit myself to that. You 
guys did the kneejerk negative reaction, but since you didn't explain 
yourselves, I am inclined to see it as "pick on the big popular site just 
because it is big and popular", or something along those lines. Oh, you 
hipsters! LOL. But seriously, I would love to hear what your actual 
reasoning for hating on Facebook is.

Anyway, couldn't be there this time, because I got distracted, but here are 
my follow up comments for what they are worth. Blessings

Dave
