You've said that before, and I don't really understand why. Installing/updating 
Beaker is no harder than installing/updating Firefox. Setting up TiddlyWiki 
within it is a matter of pressing the "New Site” button and then dragging and 
dropping your TiddlyWiki index.html; after that, saving is just like TiddlyFox.

The peer to peer stuff might be hard to get your head around, but as I've 
pointed out before it is entirely optional.

Much more to the point is the value in working together with other open source 
communities. Mozilla has never cared about TiddlyWiki, but I'm pretty sure the 
makers of Beaker do care about TiddlyWiki — they've graciously asked my 
opinions and accepted my feedback in the past.

Why? I've no idea what you're getting at here. Is it just that you'd like 
TiddlyWiki to be easier to use? We all would, but as we've discussed endlessly 
there's lots of tradeoffs. If you want to work offline, with total privacy, 
then that comes at a cost. If you want things to just work, then use an online 
TiddlyWiki. There's absolutely no mystery about how to achieve the ease of use 
that you've argued for elsewhere. Why would you judge any other solution, with 
different tradeoffs, on whether it was as easy to use as an online service?

I hope you've tried using TiddlyWiki on Beaker Browser. If you're just shooting 
the breeze and saying that some of the discussion around Beaker has looked 
complicated, then perhaps there's a possibility that these comments will just 
have the effect of putting people off trying it for themselves, which would be 
a great shame.

Best wishes

Jeremy
