Announcement: New, temporary, GGroup to discuss TW UI redesign

[Mat]

This is a new but temporary GGroup for anyone who wants to help out with creating mockups etc for a TW UI redesign. The only point with a separate discussion group is so the discussions can be found in one place because they drown in the current GGroup:

'

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddlywikiui

It is NOT a place to ask for help or where we hope for as many members as possible. When the issues discussed are sorted out, the group could "die" just like a separate thread here would - but with the difference that it is multiple such threads collected in one place for better overview.

Feel free to join or keep discussing here in the noise.

Hi Mat,

I think you need to change permissions. I'm not allowed to see the content.

Thanks for alerting. Yes, apparently deep down there was some setting for this. Hopefully it works now. Not much to see there tho.

That's not intentional but I'm unsure how to change it. I did look around but will look into it again later today.

OK These are actually the settings I made when setting it up. And the only relevant setting for this does permit "anyone on the web to post". I don't know what that means if it doesn't work.

But I don't think it is a matter of "signing up" - I think that if you click the button I, as an admin, will get a request where I accept or deny membership. I don't think there is any form of registration. How does it work on this board - can anyone post? I would not be surprised if it is not possible to post without first being granted access to do so because of spam.

Under Group Settings ...

I just tested to post from an arbitrary email. It worked without a problem.

Under "Basic permissions" I get this:

As you can see, it says "Anyone on the web" can post. Are you requesting that "Anyone on the web" can join without even asking? Actually... what does even "join" mean? I do see a point in having admin privileges to ban someone if some extreme case would turn up such as we have, indeed, seen on this board a few times where someone from the outside spams. I would not ban anyone who is a member on this board even if they said I was a total idiot or insulted my mother.

There are several levels of access you, moderator, can set. Right NOW I see ...

THAT requires you to explicitly accept axe murders like me.

I find  easier access as bydrides accept me easier ...

Point is there are a LOT of permission levels YOU control now. Those are only two :-)

Happy moderating, x.

OK OK, I changed also the "Join the group" to be "anyone on the web" without even asking for access.

But I'm curious, why was it too much of a hassle to simply click the blue button? It does require me to accept the request once-and-for-all but that's it. 

I guess, I'll let it be totally open until someone abuses it and then I'll hope it's possible to revert without any problem.

Anyway, hoping for concrete design ideas from you and everyone now - lots of illustrations and practical stuff that can actually be implemented ;-)

Simply because the "advert" just gave a group address. No one expected a "jumps".
