[Advertisement] Working with Jeremy and Federatial Limited

[Jeremy Ruston]

As you know, I left BT last year in order to be able to devote more time and attention to working on TiddlyWiki and TiddlyWiki5. My goal is to reboot TiddlyWiki as a tool for the next 25 years, taking advantage of new technology developments, and cleaning up the design to make it more flexible and elegant.

I've formed a little company called Federatial Limited (http://federatial.com/), and through it I'm supporting myself with consultancy engagements. The best of those engagements are where I have been able to use TiddlyWiki5 as the basis for the work. For example, one of my clients is in the telephony business and wants to reimagine the user interface of their core product. I've produced a working prototype of a new design that I was able to get up and running very quickly through basing it on TiddlyWiki5. So, in fact, people watching the TiddlyWiki5 development on GitHub are only seeing 40% of my activities since the majority of my effort goes into the commercial work.

When it works, this is a fabulous arrangement: my clients get their work more quickly and to a higher quality than if I was working from scratch, and I get lots of opportunities to test the TiddlyWiki5 design, and ensure that I'm paying attention to real-world needs. Better than that, I've been able to pass on some work to Eric Shulman, too.

The reason for posting to the group now is that I would much appreciate help in finding more consultancy work for Federatial, to build up a better pipeline for the next few weeks. I'm interested in projects that are large or small, and everything from general HTML5 work through to work extending or integrating TiddlyWiki.

If you think you might be able to help, please get in touch with me here, or via my LinkedIn profile:

Many thanks for your time, and apologies for interrupting the group with such a shameless commercial message.

Best wishes

Jeremy

I feel very strongly that there is no need for an apology for this type of message when it's from those that have freely contributed so much of their valuable time to this excellent project.

I urge everyone who loves TW to do whatever they can to help keep Jeremy, Eric et al focused on TW-related work.

I only wish I were in a better position to help - best I can manage at this point is to try to keep this in mind and keep my ears open.
