Hi Stephen,
very interesting and enlightening experiment, although somewhat
disillusioning.
Also your suggestions make a lot of sense and I would certainly like to
see a "beginner" edition of TW. Maybe we should start compiling a list
of must-have tiddlers for beginners ?
Also, as Dave mentioned, when working with Firefox, people probably want
to use TiddlyFox, so it might be useful, if such a beginner edition
contained a plugin, which detects the browser and displays a notice
based on that (like: "You're using Firefox, we strongly recommend using
TiddlyFox to ease saving TiddlyWiki!").
A couple of months ago, when Jeremy created the new introduction video,
there was a discussion on one of the weekly hangouts about creating an
edition of tiddlywiki that would teach users the basic functionality by
starting out simple (bare) and then step-by-step building up the
individual components of the TW UI whilst explaining what they're used for.
Also I want to thank you for putting in the effort for conducting these
experiments, please continue, I think it will produce a lot of very
useful results.

Personal Note: When I got into TiddlyWiki, the old introduction video
really helped me a lot, because it just straightforward showed me how to
start using TW. That is also the only critisism I have towards the new
video: I can watch the video and still won't be able to use TW on a
basic level .. also since using TW is what I want, I might stop watching
the video after 30 seconds. (as a new user)
