Hi PJO When I read your posts I am impressed by your will to contribute innovative ideas and by your metaphorical language, so allow me to answer in the same way—maybe this will sound strange as English is a foreign language for me. You make the impression of a man walking up in the mountains, stepping into a river in his coat, watching some leaves floating by and complaining about the fish that are not jumping up in his pockets, while down the stream they have great bridges so your feet don’t get wet and fishing nets and heated pools ;–)
Now, maybe it could be rewarding to dive into the river to see some fish that have been swimming against the stream for a while … e.g. Jeremy’s call for updating the community resources on tiddlywiki.com for the next release: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/mILsOWLlWXg/Ex0rr1LADAAJ Moans from other users about poor documentation with 100+ contributions: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/R5Ml_P8IO5g/riy-XGloBQAJ A very short dialogue about funding and TW: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/UIbK0XEDODc/7fFWx2HkCwAJ I can imagine you don’t have time for that. But if you had the time, would you consider to sum your findings up and write a newsletter about it? I am sure you would find many readers here. So the last thing I want to do is to steal the worms from your hook or, in other words, to slow you down, where you have ambitions to improve or to add something. Just take your coat of, grab a shovel and go ahead! Cheers ;–) Thomas > Maybe it's time for some stocktaking?
