I don't think there's a lot of risk of this group going overboard in making the program user friendly but I do think there are user interface areas that could tolerate improvement with diluting TW's strong points. It seems to me that one of the noteworthy ones, based on the number of efforts I've seen at improving it, is the editor. There have been at least a half dozen modifications including Eric's enhancements of TWC, Stefan bookmarklets and Danielo's keyboardsnippets. And others that are more aggressive. There are times when it seems that everyone with the skill has tried to improve that aspect of the program. Other than the preview pane, the editor is little more than a textarea box. If we could get it to look as good as the editor we use when posting messages to this group, I would be ecstatic. And it would make life a lot easier on the new users without detracting from Tiddlywiki's power.
Tiddlywiki is also, by a fair margin, the most sophisticated program I've run into in years (and I'll wager my number of years in the computer field rival anyone else's) with essentially no semblance of a help system. For just a few hundred bytes, we could offer folks an intermediate level of the program that includes key help files with negligible impact of the program. Something between the bare-bones empty and the full web-site would be helpful. Other strengths: > > 1. It's actively developed and supported and the primary developer is > accessible. :) > 2. It has a great community that is both enthusiastic and open to > newcomers. > I strongly agree with these two points. Without those two, I wouldn't be here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
