New Privacy and Security Documentation

[jeremyruston]

I discovered recently that there are no useful results when searching tiddlywiki.com for “privacy” or “security”. Given the importance of these topics I am preparing a Pull Request that adds a new section giving basic information about privacy and security when using TiddlyWiki. There is also a new badge for the home page to advertise it:

The goal is to give users good quality pointers to trusted sources of information, and suggest strategies for using TiddlyWiki with minimal trust in external entities.

The pull request is #8746, and there is a preview at https://deploy-preview-8746–tiddlywiki-previews.netlify.app

Suggestions and thoughts are welcome.

This is a great idea. Some feedback:

1. There’s a small typo: s/stoerd/stored/

2. Unless the goal is to exclusively offer a general, ten thousand feet altitude perspective, might be worth explicitly linking related topics, to give a first time reader pointers for further research of practical solutions that the TiddlyWiki ecosystem can offer. I’m thinking about:

• https://tiddlywiki.com/#Encryption
• https://tiddlywiki.com/#"Encrypt%20single%20tiddler%20plugin"%20by%20Danielo%20Rodriguez
• TW5-CSEncryption — Client-Side Encryption for TiddlyWiki5 on Node.js

Thank you @vuk I’ve implemented your suggestions in this commit. The preview will be updated in a few minutes.
