The Great TiddlyWiki Interview Project (2010)

#1

Thinking about the upcoming TiddlyWiki 20th anniversary reminded me of a project that we ran back in 2010 to encourage the community to write about their experience with TiddlyWiki.

We ran an experiment on TiddlySpace where we posed a series of questions (“How did you first discover TiddlyWiki?”, “What was it about TiddlyWiki that captured your interest?” etc). Users would write their answers in their own spaces, and then we had an aggregate space that bought together all of the responses into one place.

I’ve got an HTML snapshot of the aggregate space that I will try to put online, but in the meantime I’ve attached a PDF of that space.

I’m bringing this up now because I think it would be interesting to run something similar for the anniversary, where we can gather community stories, feelings and experiences about TiddlyWiki.

I’d welcome any thoughts or suggestions – and of course volunteers are always warmly welcomed.

I think this is a great idea and I would certainly like to contribute. Keeping submissions open to encorage different submissions will help attract creative solutions. Who knows we may have poets or graphic artists amongst us.

  • for others a series of questions is a good idea

May I suggest we Concider developing a living document that first responds to the anniversary but then can collect material going forward. Authors/artists could also be asked if there contributions can be used by the community?

  • tiddlywiki would benifit from a submissions solution. I have ideas for this.

Basicaly if we are going to put the effort into soliciting input, lets set it up for the nest decade?
