Now, one might argue that e-pubs can be a significant project to help push TiddlyWiki out onto the big stage more (and thus create some more leverage to do bigger proects ;-) but... and of course you agree, this place is a terrible forum to try and manage the ambitions of a TiddlyWiki e-pub project. At least, such a thing would require a propper project context. For me, atm that would be a github repo, since you can address all the nitty gritty detail from functional to technical specification all the way to voting and implementation and actuall code and all that ...in a defined spot. But it takes for a lead developer (architect) to take on the job not only to understand the code-base, but to kind of manage the overall process, so people stay realistic of how to get from start to finish. If you want an even more "engaging" experience than a github repo can deliver, well, I don't know... you're trying to give life to a highly complex social experiment with a desired outcome... that's never quite a simply thing to pull of, no matter what the environment. Without some professional organisation, there's a good chance a bunch of freelance, self-made coders and idea-generators will find it hard to form unity, but it's possible as we all know. OpenSource is a thing, it's alive and it's kicking... but everyone doing it also knows its problems... the most prominent one being that that guy didn't show up for half a year: So what's that about? ;-) Best wishes, Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
