For me 2021 was the year to reencounter TW and its community again after a decade long hiatus (I used TW intensively from 2008 to 2010 and stopped as my research explorations led me elsewhere, and I came back to TW at the of 2020).
In my most used list I would put:
-
Nicolas Petton Projectify: as is my main template to create my own wikis and the community ones. We have even our own “seed” with curated plugins and custom macros called ProjectifyMod. It’s a shame it is now archived and the main site is not working anymore. It makes me wonder for the evolution of such projects and how we care the digital commons and their makers/caregivers.
-
Shiraz 2.4.5 — create stylish contents in Tiddlywiki for several of our documentation call outs and styling.
-
@telmiger Plugins, particularly Harvey Balls, and his mobile themes. I hope to see more in the direction of a functional style CSS inspired by Tachyons, TaildwindCSS, Assembler CSS and alike in the future of TW, as I think that it helps CSS newbies/ignorants like myself to customize TW without the heavy baggage of CSS.
-
The TW 5.2.x series in general, particularly because of the possibility to define easily forms.
-
The Echart plugins recently discussed here looks pretty promising.
-
This very web forum, as it allows and easier entry point that developer issues in GH and provides a better user experience that Google Groups and it’s really community owned (in sharp contrast with the previous two). I think that is pretty aligned with the TW philosophy of more autonomous technology.
-
TWCrossLinks and Relink as they made pretty visible the power of backlinks and renaming.
-
@DaveGifford Several wikis, plugins and tutorials, as they’re pretty inspiring about what good learning material looks like in wiki form.
My list gets bigger and, as I list more people and their tools, I confirm that any list is an omission of what is left out of it. So I will end my list here, just saying that I’m pretty thankful of finding this community again.
