Portableapps (att: Ruston)

TiddlyWiki would possibly do well by being included here;

http://portableapps.com/

Ref. to the "personal wiki on a stick" aspect.

(Not sure Mr.Ruston participates in here, but it's not a
tiddlydevgroup issue and don't know who else to mention this to... so
I'm just throwing it out here...)

There's quite a few matches for TiddlyWiki on the site already, do we
need to do something new to improve it's exposure?

Best wishes

Hm, I don't see it listed in the "Applications list" there.
http://portableapps.com/apps

Using their search feature I find an old request by someone to add it
to their suite, and a few references to it in their forum. The request
is a few years old and it says nothing about how "established" TW is
by now.

I'd contact them myself but I don't quite know that the GNU says on
this matter and I don't quite know what to say about the muscle power
behind TW. I imagine that they're a lot more interested if they know
something is backed up by X many programmers and that it has been
around for X years etc. And most of all, I'm not qute sure regarding
your or Osmosoft/BT's view on the matter.

To me it is obvious TW belongs in their suite.

And quite a few of us who already use both. I find my TW files work
quite well with the portable version of Firefox on the PortableApps
site.

Hmmm I've not been able to find out how one nominates an app for
inclusion. I agree that TiddlyWiki's maturity makes it a reasonable
candidate for inclusion.

Now taken care of.

(BTW I notice a portable server(!) there. I only have a vague idea of
what TiddlyWeb is, but the thought of a personal USB stick as a server
loaded with single tiddlers that can be shared around the globe...
whoaa!)

TiddlyWeb already comes with an (optional) pure-Python server, making
it fully portable:

Thanks Amzg, that's very efficient, and very helpful. It would indeed
be good to get TiddlyWeb packaged appropriately so that it can be
listed, too.

Cheers

I agree

I've used Mowes with good results http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/mowes/

I tried to setup TiddlyWeb as well - but I didn't succeed

I'd love if someone made a preinstalled package in the *.paf
format ...

WOW! Does this mean free individual tiddlers, kind of instant website-
lets, possible to download and manipulate into new variants, available
anytime the USB is plugged in? Maybe even findable via SE's?

(Now if I only knew even how to spell Piton.. Pytun... Py... point
being that I understand zipf of the TiddlyWeb documentation or how to
set up a server.... ;-)

I'm not sure I fully understand the implications of these questions - so
I'll resort to "yeah, I guess... " for now.
I suggest you just give it a try by following the instructions I linked
to - if anything in particular is unclear, we'd be happy to clarify
(preferably over at http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWeb/).

We'd also very much welcome that. It shouldn't take much work, as we've
already got things working with Portable Python, so it's more or less a
matter of packaging it up.
Of course we'd support any volunteers.

I've just simplified the installation process so that everyone should be
able to get up and running very easily:
