I'm slowly putting together a "Fission Edition" to teach myself how to put Editions together, and to have some interesting Core + Plugins + Content curated and targeted at those new to TiddlyWiki.

I'm working my way through all the Core plugins and found Help Panel. It's great! And, like all things TW, it's easily customizable.

I added in Dave Gifford's recent Customizer plugin video. Cool!

Two questions:

1) Tips on using Help Panel?

Anyone using it more "in the wild"? Customizations? Thoughts on how to use?

2) What if we had many more videos in there? What if it was easy for everyone to create videos and have them appear in the Help Panel?

Specifically, just quick little screencasts even. I added Dave Gifford's recent Customizer plugin video as an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rse3Cv6VRlI

I put mine on Vimeo, because they have a nice Chrome extension for screencasts https://talk.fission.codes/t/1767/2

I'm thinking that something super simple, like a Github repo where a JSON file can be maintained / published with video content, and then "consumed" by the Help Panel. There are probably tons of TW native ways of doing this if people have suggestions :P The goal being fresher content right in people's TW experience.

OK, I cheated and managed to capture Jeremy demo'ing drag and drop this morning https://talk.fission.codes/t/1767/3

And, since I'm mixing and matching YouTube and Vimeo videos, I edited Help Panel to wrap the embed code for YouTube in a reveal. Set the embed to "0" and just paste the embed code from whatever video service you're using in.

```
\define show-video(title)
<$reveal type="nomatch" state="$title$!!embed" text="0">
<$macrocall $name="show-video-inner" embed={{$title$!!embed}}/>
</$reveal>
<p>{{$title$!!text}}</p>
\end
```

Hi Boris,
 How can I put my own Tiddlywiki/Fission edition on my public folder? So I can create new Tiddlywiki based on that!

Best wishes
Mohammad

Hello Mohammad!

Use Fission Drive to upload files. I’ll add some messaging to the home page about that.

Go to https://drive.fission.codes and click on Public. You can drag and drop any TiddlyWiki HTML file to upload.

Also a good thing to make a screencast about!
