Where are the cats?

[@TiddlyTweeter]

I know a lot of effort has gone into designing & tweaking extant SVG cats for TW. But where can i find a good collection of them?

Using black cat imagery could help promote TW. That imagery has already created a resonance. The cat could be used more IMO to promote uptake.

But to do that one needs materials. Users are mostly not visual designers and depend on libraries of imagery otherwise barriers are too high.

Badging with the cat in various ways is a very good idea IMO. Its quite distinctive. Visually its gentle & inviting. And not too obtrusive.

But variations are needed like "authored from", "generated by", "made by" and so on. Why? One example is to encourage users who are making static pages from TW to signal also how they were made.

Its also a way of giving thanks. So why not a cat badge that reads: "thanks to TiddlyWiki".

Also why not be able to set the cat as an easy default background image.

Like my previous question about icons (its in the TW Dev Department), I feel its over-hard to find resources like this at moment. I'm never quite sure if its they don't exist in TW or whether no one knows about them.

Best wishes

footnote: I originally posted a version of this to the Dev Department, but felt it was an interesting issue for here too. i have modified the post to make its meaning clearer.

Hi Josiah

I know a lot of effort has gone into designing & tweaking extant SVG cats for TW. But where can i find a good collection of them?

I’m not sure that such a collection exists. Are there any specifics you were thinking of?

There are several versions of the Motovun Jack image included on tiddlywiki.com:

http://tiddlywiki.com/#Motovun%20Jack.svg:%5B%5BMotovun%20Jack.svg%5D%5D%20%5B%5BMotovun%20Jack.pdf%5D%5D%20%5B%5BMotovun%20Jack.jpg%5D%5D%20%5B%5BMotovun%20Jack.ascii%5D%5D

The original photograph is linked from tw.com:

You can see some other images of Jack in my photostream:

There’s already a “powered by TiddlyWiki” banner that is available as a plugin. You can see it at the bottom right of http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease 

Its also a way of giving thanks. So why not a cat badge that reads: "thanks to TiddlyWiki".

Also when not be able to set the cat as an easy default background image.

For the desktop, or for TiddlyWiki itself? Including a decent resolution image of Jack in the default distribution would take up quite a bit of space.

Pretty much all of the resources of TiddlyWiki are included on tiddlywiki.com. You can search it with Google, or download a local copy of all of the content from GitHub:

Best wishes

The cats are too busy pooing in my lawn. Grrrrrrr. Bad cats.

[Ste Wilson]

Can we develop a list filter to allow cats -poo?

So, the cat in question is named Jack? And it owns Jeremy(1)?

(1) People don't own cats, cats own people. Ask any cat.

Control yourselves people.
