Jed et al..
Thanks for the continuing development of Bob and simple to use Bobexe. Of
late I have needed to exit the use of Bob for my critical Wikis as I have
too many issues arising. I have thus returned it to an evaluation platform
and installed the latest version. The Export Wiki feature has helped me
here thank you, using save rather than download, Download gives me the
error "Internal Javascript error "TypeError: invalid assignment to const
`excludeList'"
- Jed I understand you do not have the windows platform to test on so
let me know if there are specific tests you want me to undertake.
- I keenly want to use the features in Bob but still find the
instructions and documentation difficult, it's more that they are terse, to
the point and technical. I have trouble extracting the conceptual
understanding behind the various features I want to use. Perhaps this is
because I do not understand tiddlywiki on NodeJS and this understanding is
written between the lines. It also stops me trouble shooting problems I
face in bob.
- As offered before I am keen to help the adoption of Bob and
documentation but so far I have not being able to build the expertise in
Bob to do this, and the Windows platform adds additional distance.
Key issues
1. No matter that a wiki is saved, I get this message navigating away
from a Wiki,
*"This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have
entered may not be saved" *With a number of WIkis open closing my
browser becomes a chore.
2. Are all the features basically setup by appropriate changes to the
settings? perhaps using $:/plugins/OokTech/Bob/Configuration as a Guide?
3. Because I find it hard to get the concepts behind the features I am
not sure what relates to all wikis, the root wiki or the child wikis eg the
Plugin folder
4. I am getting unexpected closures of the console or the Error messages
below
Current problem on console, stopping Bob Master connecting to server?

I truly love the Bob features but I am struggling at the moment to
implement them. Returning Bob to a test environment frees me to learn more
by experimentation and hopefully overcome these adoption barriers, I take
full responcibility for my own limitations here.
