Questions to ask about saving and hosting your wiki

[TonyM]

Folks,

The options available to save ot host Tiddlywiki are numerous. People with knowledge of multiple options find it easy to provide a solution to someone who asks, however it takes time to extract a users requirements from them. As a result I am keen to prepare a set of questions who's answers will help guide a selection.

This is a brainstormed list and I would like new or experience users to suggest questions for people to ask that may help people select a path. I may turn this into an interactive Q&A with recommendations, perhaps even a set of tools to make the chosen method simpler.

Please contribute in this thread. All questions should have a yes/no or limited selection for the answer.

We may say to readers;

• The more one answers yes to the questions less options may be available
• There is an opportunity for you to move across platforms and servers so answer the questions according to your current need

The kinds of Questions to ask include the following; 

• Please provide  name for this configuration (We will save your answers)
• Do you just want to host one wiki or many?
• What operating system option do you have for your client
• What operating system option do you have for your server operating system?
• Windows
• Linux variation
• MAC iOS
• inc SharePoint
• Android
• iPhone
• Do you want a copy of TiddlyWiki.com to read and experiment on?
• Do you want to review the various tiddlywiki editions available?
• Do you want to download a wiki found on the internet?
• Are you happy for them to be unavailable when you turn off your computer?
• Are you restricted from installing software on your computer eg; Locked down work computer?
• Do you want them available when connected to another network?
• Do you want to be able to copy to create new wikis as files?
• After creating and updating your wiki do you want to "publish it"?
• Is it a single file wiki

• Do you want to use a wiki from which to generate new folder wikis?

• Would you like to treat tiddlywiki files like other documents from your computers file and folder structure?
• Would you like a simple directory to files on your hard disk or storage location
• Do you want them available within the LAN?
• Do you want them available on the internet?
• Do you have a prefered browser or list of browsers for editing wikis (Assume all can read)
• Do you want to use an unusual browser (Not IE, FireFox or Chrome) yes no
• What browser? edge/beaker/....
• Do you want your wiki on your mobile only
• Are you happy for TiddlyWikis to open in your default browser.
• Are you want TiddlyWikis to open in a none default browser or application.

I am also looking for design suggestions for the interactive Q&A ideas I already have

• Get user to save a named configuration with their answers
• Add discord/other discussion threads
• Ability to send a configuration to someone or the site owner
• Unveil additional questions according to the answers
• Unveil suggestions according to the answers
