Update 1 - TiddlyWiki StackExchange

[Arlen Beiler]

Hello Everyone,

 Just a little update on the progress of the proposal. We already know what kind of questions we want on here, and right now we are about half way to our goal. 

We have 81 followers, but only 21 questions with 10 votes. We need 40 questions. 

If you have not done so yet, sign up or log in and then vote up five good questions that have a current score less than 10.

The more people the merrier, so keep spreading the word. The more people follow, the more people will vote on questions. 

Jesus peace be with you,

-Arlen

Thank you all for following and voting for

good questions that have a current score less than 10.

Cheers,

Ciao Arlen

I have held off replying till I got a bit clearer. I have a few comments now ...

1 - IF it can be got to work I think it would really help. The questioning system and upvoting on StackExchange looks very good indeed.

2 - My reservation is whether it will ever fruit. This is because ...

StackExchange is VERY hard to get up and running. Its because of the complex numbers game it insists on, in some ways for good reasons. But is, maybe in OUR case, a bit of a barrier.

I think it disadvantages small groups like this in us not being able to form the necessary leverage in a timely fashion.

I am sceptical there are ENOUGH active users here who ALSO want to go for it to get it over the needed edge???

Perhaps LONG TERM? I note that some StackExchange groups take a couple of years to form viably.

3 - Finally, I have reservations about moderation. Perhaps paranoid. But as far as I understand it, people who have no experience of TiddlyWiki could end up involved in moderating the group?

Best wishes
Josiah

Hi Josiah, 

Thanks for your thoughts, after seeing the initial progress on the proposal and watching it since then, I have gotten the same feeling that this may be hard to get off the ground. However, my feeling is that if we do get through the proposal and get to Beta, I believe we will have enough foot traffic that the site will stay running. If not we can always explore how well stack Overflow would work for this.

 

As far as moderation, anyone with 10,000 reputation is basically a moderator. This very strongly caters toward people that contribute to the site a lot, would would almost always be people that work with tiddlywiki a lot. During beta, I believe stackexchange employees are the moderators, otherwise they will be elected by the community. And when I say 10,000 reputation, I mean on the tiddlywiki site not on all Sites. And the election is also just for the tiddlywiki stackexchange, not for all of them.

Thanks,

-Arlen
