I will be hosting a Zoom for “Meetup for people new to tiddlywiki or still have a lot to learn”
In an hour from posting this, the zoom session will start, 6:30 Australian time +10 GMT, or Australian Eastern Time.
ie starting at 9:30am UTC
Three enthusiast turned up and we had a wonderful chat about issues and solutions for 2 and a half hours so this went well.
Next: 9th of July will be for TiddlyWiki enthusiasts so consider joining us.
[Edited] 9th of July Sydney time so may be the 8th for some people.
What a great idea! I am sorry I missed the last one. I would be interested in the 9th.
One thing, though. Would you consider Google Meet? But I will try to use Zoom if you prefer that. I wonder if I’m the only one. I’m not a google person at all; don’t use google docs or gmail at all. My main beef with Zoom is the multi-pane (pain) interface that I consider very early-2000-esque. (remember the old GIMP)?
That said, I’d be interested regardless.

Tentative .ics Calendar FIle text (tiddler):
I remember gimp too but I don’t notice zooms multi pane once it’s running and I maximise. I have been using it for years now.
perhaps we can have a trial run to see if it’s easy for you or not.
I am very willing to give it a try.
Perhaps, as well, we could gather some questions and talking points in this thread. I’d really like to get into writing /define scripts comfortably. How to apply a Stylesheet tiddler. Other things…
Zoom has several different available “views”. The one that most resembles Google Meet is “Speaker View”.
See https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063672
Note that there are at least four different online services that can provide multi-participant video conferencing:
All these services offer downloadable platform-specific applications, as well as “no installation” web-based interfaces.
For free usage, Zoom has a 40-minute session time limit and Google has a 1-hour session time limit, while Discord has no time limit. These limits are significantly extended (or waived entirely) if the “host” of the session is a registered/paid user of the service.
I use Google Meet and Discord web-based interfaces on a regular (daily/weekly) basis, and Zoom or MS-Teams less often, and all are reasonably effective and easy to use.
Also note that the TiddlyWiki community already has an active Discord server. The “invite” link is TiddlyWiki 5, and the direct server link is here:
enjoy,

Please can we stick to Zoom, I pay for the pleasure of using it, I am inviting you all and no need to pay as a guest.
What time zone are you in Alfie?, Perhaps Private message me, and anyone else who wants to connect to zoom before hand.
Japan (+09). An hour behind Sydney.
Let’s use Zoom! I’ll try to get to know it better before the chat.
Use the link at the top of this thread, I started that meeting now.
