[GitHub] awesome lists - where should TW be listed?

[BurningTreeC]

Hello folks,

on GitHub there's a "trend" of listing useful programs/sources in repositories called "awesome-ios", "awesome-selfhosted", "awesome-thisandthat" ... there are many of those lists

I found out about TW through the awesome-selfhosted list  (link)  where it's listed. But this suggests to me that TW is too hard to find for what it offers in usefulness.

I think it should make it to every list where it makes sense, we just need to make some pull requests or issues in those github repositories.

This is something we all can do to help spread the word about TW and that could come back like a boomerang in helping TW getting a larger userbase

What do you think?

Ciao BTC & all

I think there are reasons that TW is not as known as it could be. IMO it should be a 500,000 engaged users platform, not a 5,000 or less.

Whether in GitHub, or on GG, or in the wild, the issues are the similar.

Its largely inward focused. An amazing development process that is not reaching where it could.

We need a "Marketing Department" IMO. But you can't force people to be outlooking. Its an evolution.

I think the main issue is a Catch-22. You need more people who actively like to promote expansion of remit. You can't get them without expansion of remit.

Something like that.

Best wishes

Hi BTC,

I for ones came from wikimatrix back in the days. As I see now the entry for TW is pretty outdated saying it had its last release back in mid 2016. I second your idea that more people should know about TW and also that there are many out there running a full blown MediaWiki or what not just to take some notes for themselves without even knowing there is a better alternative - to just name one (and I think most important) use case.

But to be honest I think that a proper presentation is not so much a problem of TW not beeing on so many lists - even though it should. But the fact that new users like me in the beginning find it hard to find proper help and documentation. I know this topic has been discussed so many times before but from my own first experience with TW in 2008 I can say that I droped it back than for not being easy enough for absolute neewbies. I came back around 2011 when my confidence with JS had grown and I was sick of all the "big" wiki setups requiring a full LAMP stack just to take some notes.

Cheers,
Tristan
