Hi everyone,

here in France, there is a word "crado" which sounds pretty much like your
"cardo". *crado <http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/crado>*
stands for dirty, filthy and in some extent cruddy, nasty, lousy. I'll stay
with my good old tiddlers and tiddlywiki ;-)

cheers

Sylvain

I do like the sound of Cardo.

In the USA/Texas, About 4/5 times I say "TiddlyWiki" to someone, they seem
disgusted. At least 2 of those times they'll outright say "that's a
horrible name".
I agree that renaming TiddlyWiki shouldn't be a top priority, and it might
not even be worth the switching cost. But given that "tiddler" makes so
many people think "active pedophile", I'd say renaming the project at the
first practical opportunity is a good idea.

Hope this doesn't offend, especially Jeremy, but it's due to common
reactions in conversations lately.

When I've been showing my Cardo project to people, and explaining that it's
based on this awesome self-contained javascript development environment in
a single html file that lets you completely contain your entire knowledge
store in a wikified hypercard sort of metaphor etc. etc. called
"TiddlyWiki"...

...the reaction I get is usually along the lines of one raised eyebrow, a
bit of a disgusted look, and the words "Tiddly winkie?" repeated back to me.

I get that "Tiddler" is probably a very fine British term (I'm assuming?)
meaning a reminder, or something.... but here in Canada at least, just
saying Tiddler or Tiddly reeks of pedophilic abuse. Especially with the
extremely unfortunately paired term "wiki", which ends up making it all
sound too much like "diddlywinkie" - "playing with your peepee."

That's a big part of why I called it "Cardo". And let's face it - TW
Classic and TW5 are basically the amazing evolution of Apple's Hypercard. I
have a hard time even typing "Tiddler" in these forums, let alone saying
it, but no problem talking about "Cards", which they essentially are, by
look and feel as well as by function.

So... Maybe the next evolution of TW should be towards something more
user-adoptable, like calling it WikiCards or something?

Again, sorry to offend... but judging by the reaction I get when talking
about the tool, (no innuendo intended there!!), I can't be the only one.

Cheers,
David.
