Hi Jed > mild dyslexia means I have to either spend time checking every word or deal with lots and lots of spelling errors, this generally prevents me from contributing too much to documentation
It's pretty well hidden - I didn't spot any errors in the material you posted. > Could we have a pinned thread here I'm not a huge fan of pinned threads, but I understand the motivation. There is actually already an existing but dormant TiddlyWiki Documentation mailing list which we could reactivate: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddlywikidocs (There's also a dormant group for core development at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddlywikicoredev) > My only other concern is that there may be some licensing issues if someone has a cloned wiki for documentation and doesn't sign the license. I have no idea if that would be a problem or not, but I thought I should mention it. Good point. Some projects have dropped using a CLA; maybe we should explore it too. Best wishes Jeremy.
