[tw.com] How do I propose "bold makeovers" for tw.com?

[Mat]

@Jeremy has called for proposals for a remake of the sidebar Contents on tw.com (even a "bold" remake, if I recall). Also, he has expressed thoughts about a totally different "face" to tw.com.

Every now and then I have some ideas on these matters, but how can I actually express these? It obviously doesn't concern one tiddler. If I copy the full tw.com TW into a tiddlyspot and do all my changes there, will Jeremy (or anyone) be able to see exactly what bits I've changed/added/deleted? Or would I need to document every change? I really hope there is an easy way to see changes because if I engage in this I will for sure be editing on different "levels" including re-tagging stuff, changing text, layout etc. (Hm, it sounds like I have a super plan for a total remake, but I don't. I just come to think of bits and pieces that could be improved as I use tw.com)

I'm a bit scared of the thought of creating a fork on github and deal with, um, versioning and various folders for I-don't-even-know-what etc. It seems too complicated. I just want to do things via the TW user interface itself and when I feel ready I call attention to it. And, if I continue to edit and later again feel I've made progress I'll want to call attention to it again. The latter would mean that even if parts of my initial version was dismissed, then anyone re-viewing the second version should note the new bits without being distracted by the dismissed bits that likely remain.

Also, there will for sure be a need for myself to be able to comment on my changes. How should this be done? Where do I put comments?

Suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi Mat

Yes, I can readily run a comparison manually.

I'm keen to simplify the process of collecting contributions in this way, as I think it gives us a much lower barrier than having to mess around with GitHub.

I'd suggest that for each such modified clone of tw.com you should add a tiddler that explains the purpose of the changes, and if necessary points to the specific things that have changed.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
