I wanted to discuss a doc tiddler so figured I was going to use @Mark_S 's temporary demo/testingsite, as discussed in Reader-drived doc dev. Unfortunately, after having the tiddler text auto-copied to the talk editor and adding some other comments, attempting to post it, i.e clicking Create Topic results in modal:
All of the content below this line is what I attempted to post. My intent was to do a follow up post with the actual issue I had with the doc text. As you see it does contain a link and other stuff. That not good?
The following is a semi-automatically generated text using the experimental feature discussed in Reader-driven doc development and @Mark_S temporary TW mirror. The idea is to post a copy of the tiddlers text so a discussion thread can follow thereafter.
As the thread title states, it concerns the count Operator doc, which reads as follows:
The number of the entries in the input list is counted and a decimal representation returned as a single string.
<<.operator-examples "count">>
Aha! What seems to fail is that I’m denied to post to the “default inserted” category “Community Projects”. Maybe you have admin rights that I don’t have? Is it a public category?
Oh? Maybe. I thought it was an open, public community. Obviously we need a public thread or sub-thread for this to work. I’m not sure if the idea has legs, though.
Well, I doubt people will suddenly rush to edit tiddlers but one could also say that the doc PR contributions overall don’t have very long legs. I do expect myself to use this feature though
Did you have a chance to look up if the “Community Projects” category is generally open for posting to? If that, indeed, is the appropriate category to use. I don’t mind, but there was talk about other categories… or maybe those were tags?
Oops. I guess the category slug documentation is better. I’ve updated the mirror. The documentation category shouldn’t require approval. But I’m not sure if it needs to be addressed as a subcategory. Maybe give it a try?
I raised the question, but no one responded. Thus the comment about legs. Tagging these posts as “tiddlers” might be a good idea. The syntax allows for that.
