G'day all,

I had to take a moment to send a shout out of serious appreciation for TiddlyWiki and to Jeremy Ruston (and all contributors!)

For the last few years, I've been trying to put together, with Classic Google Sites, a French-Acadian dictionary (the particular "dialect" from my hometown region of New Brunswick, Canada), and I found myself continually frustrated by the lack of the one feature I love in great wiki products: transclusion.

(Well, aside from transclusion, I really love the lightness and agility of wikis in general.  Google Sites is fine for certain things, but way too clunky for what I've been trying to do.)


I dabbled a bit with Zim and with CherryTree (both fine products too), but without transclusion, they can't touch TiddlyWiki for this purpose.

For collaboration, ProjectForum (defunct for several years now) is still my favourite no-fuss-no-muss solution, but for my own personal writing of deeply intertwingled information, TiddlyWiki is my go-to top choice.  Aside from lightness/agility and transclusion feature, TiddlyWiki is a right blast of fun to work with.  Kudos!



For anybody interested, I'm using Neocities to host my dictionary (still very early going as my TiddlyWiki instance captures my intertwingled thoughts).  Here's the link in case anybody is interested in this wee passion/hobby o' mine:  Le P'tit Aurèle.

Cheers and best regards!

Definitely interested, will be checking it out (for language referernce for my own writing project)-- I use TW as my main tool for writing and planning/game development of the written material into table top & computer Role Playing Games.

And be sure to ask questions here so you get the most out of TW : )
