Sweet Dreams: Tiddlywiki Magazine: Introducing new features of next Tiddlywiki release

[Mohammad]

Every Tiddlywiki new release brings amazing features. TW 5.1.23 is a special one so far.

There are few developers, who are very hard working but development, testing, debugging take them a lot and documenting new features remain at some minimum!

I have suggested to have something like a blog, magazine, site, or similar to discuss all these new features with a bunch of examples and discuss pros and cons and compare!

I see people in this forum, with amazing Tiddlywiki knowledge (technical), some with great pedagogical skills, who can publish in such magazine, blog, site, ...

This is sweet dream, may be some day turns into reality ...

Mohammad,

I too have had a desire to do this for some time. I was hoping to encourage guest posts and replies and showcase tiddlywiki at the same time, however I could not get anyone to share the vision (perhaps a silly thing to ask for) and other things have kept my attention.  I expected an external commenting solution may be needed.

See my UNPUBLISHED work in progress https://anthonymuscio.github.io/TWBlog.html

Perhaps we can develop a shared project. I can deliver self hosted WordPress as well, which allows us to have authenticated multiple users.

Hello there Tones and Mohammad,

Actually that's not a bad idea. Btw, your blog is nifty. 

I mean one already has the Tiddliwiki.com landing page with how to's, samples, etc.

However I hear what you are saying...like have something more with a community 

feel to it...with how to's...insights... or a featured tiddlywiki of the week.

Yeah, I think I can see it happening. 

Mohammad is right when he says there are brilliant minds and great technical souls in this forum that can offer much.

Hell...it's one of the reasons why I have stuck all these years with the community.

Plus yeah, tech is great and all but when you add a bit of a good read you enjoy it even more.

All in all, I'm all for something like that.

Best wishes,

Julio

Ciao M.

Mohammad ...

... suggested to have something like a blog, magazine, site, or similar to discuss ... new features with ... examples ...

Right.

A periodic "briefing paper" / "magazine" series published on a PERMANENT site is a good idea!

I would not limit it to commentary on releases. I would, rather, seek OVERVIEW NOTES on aspects of TW from informed users.

As TW matures it is really getting quite difficult to fully understand it. That is GOOD. Meaning, its scope is huge.

There is DEFINITELY a need for detailed documentation of real USE CASES that is often lacking.

Best wishes

TT

[Mohammad]

Thank you all.

TT,

I think, it is Jeremy to decide where he can setup such PERMANENT site. Then I think there are volunteers to help.

Why Jeremy, because this make the site an official one!

The critical point here is, a simple method to publish!! The current method to contribute to TW documentation using GitHub pull request is the worst for

this purpose.

Such a magazine or blog would also be very useful in terms of usage, as it would give you ideas on what to use the new features for, as well as being useful for advertising purposes: Boostnote, for example, implements this kind of "newsletter" on the surface of Medium and they have gained quite a lot of awareness in a short time, I think thanks to Medium as well. (https://medium.com/boostnote)

Sorry, I couldn't translate what I want to say correctly: with Medium, we can get more users in addition to presenting the features.

Hi bimlas,

I support any type of magazine, blog, media to discuss new features, solutions, ... One example is CSS-Tricks articles (https://css-tricks.com/archives/)

I as a big fan of Fotran follow Dr Fortran (Steve Lionel) blog for years (https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/blogs/previous-doctor-fortran-blog-posts.html and https://stevelionel.com/drfortran/allposts/) there many other examples around.

I think Jeremy shall decide on this (where and how) and then I am sure many TW fan like you can write and publish great articles (discussing TW features) there.

That is true!
