[Opinion] Lack Of Fanfare Is Not Good

[@TiddlyTweeter]

Mark S., in another thread commented about releases ...
 

It just feels like there should be a little more fanfare (maybe a thread announcement) when major changes are deployed.

I agree.

We lack a Marketing Department or Deeper Briefings.

IMO we entirely undersell TW and its huge ability. I mean, even us using it often hardly notice major innovation. How is a new user to understand its flexi-evolution?

There is no flag waving. I think it would help at lot, both current and potential new users if there were.

Just thoughts

The marketing department is falling down on their job. Every change should include a press release sent to all the major tech reporting websites and the New York Times.

I agree with you. There is a release list on https://tiddlywiki.com/#Releases which contains the changes, but you have to search for it - it's not shown on the site by default.

There are some "news" about the plugins on https://tiddlywiki.com/#Community which is on the bottom of the welcome page, but this is not maintained as I see. I think this would be the best place for "fanfares", but it should be updated more recently (maybe it could be automated: merging a GitHub pull request which is labeled with "feature" could create a new entry in the list).

FYI, "Community" is maintained but the issue is that individual makers of stuff don't sign up to Erwan's aggregator that creates it so it LOOKS out of date. Likely because they have no idea its exists or know how to sign-up. Which is part of the same problem.

There is no Marketing Department yet. Unfortunately.

Early thought: One thing that could be networked more is TW is a Superior Wiki. It does many things other wikis do not. Yet most of the "wiki world" has no idea since we hardly explain innovation to ourselves.
