Hi Thomas

Where is the social calc docs the link on the developer's site don't work

The links to SocialCalc here are broken:

http://rboue.tiddlyspot.com/#SocialCalc%2Fintroduction

But the correct link to https://www.socialtext.net/open/socialcalc is here:

http://tiddlywiki.com/#rboue's%20plugins%20for%20TiddlyWiki

I’m not able to update rboue’s site.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Not very informative to a non-programer.

Hi Thomas

Not very informative to a non-programer.

What were you after? Your original question wasn’t very clear to me.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

I guess that’s why there is a specialty of document writer. One who can bring what the programmer knows down to the user who doesn’t and can’t explain why.

I  must say the latest incarnation of Tiddlywiki5 sure has an easy to understand method of adding table of contents, where earlier editions were beyond me.

Thomas,

Unlike some other open source projects that have funding to support an entrenched hierarchy of full-time assigned roles, TiddlyWiki uses a much broader, egalitarian approach where the entire community is encouraged to support and help each other find practical solutions for specific problems.

If you ask *specific* questions, especially ones for which you have an actual use-case in mind, you are likely to get much more helpful and informative responses from the TiddlyWiki community.  

In that regard, your extremely terse initial question was simply:

Where is the social calc docs the link on the developer's site don't work

In response, Jeremy provided links to the *available* documentation:

http://rboue.tiddlyspot.com/#SocialCalc%2Fintroduction
https://www.socialtext.net/open/socialcalc

Note that you did *not* indicate that you were seeking "non-programmer" documentation.  You even referenced the "developer's site" in your initial question, giving a further impression that you were looking for technical implementation details, rather than information for end-users.

Unfortunately, rather than expand on your initial question in hopes of getting a better (more useful) response for your needs, you simply complained about the quality of the existing documentation... to which Jeremy correctly responded, asking you to clarify what kind of information you are actually seeking.

Your follow-up response was a similar lament about needing a "document writer" specialist in order to provide simplified end-user instructions... for one specific TiddlyWiki application... that was first implemented many, many years ago... using TiddlyWiki Classic.

Then... you inexplicably abandoned further inquiry about SocialCalc (I guess you weren't really that interested in it?) to toss out a compliment about the "easy to understand" (but entirely unrelated) Table of Contents features of TiddlyWiki5.

This community is remarkably eager to help each other if you give it even half a chance.  So... at this point, Jeremy's question remains: "What were you after?"

respectfully,

-e

Eric,

You make some good points, so I’ll try to be specific on my needs.

I think that social calc shows some good promise, However I can’t  (easily) understand what information is available.

What I hope to see is a step by step or detailed guide to using rather than programing social calc.

Even though I'm a programmer I sometimes need to see actual code to "explain something like I'm 5". Then I read it, and assimilate it and organize it in my own head. That's just how I learn.
