title: 2010 - What do you think of the name TiddlyWiki and the term "tiddler"? - mama - 2010-12-02T00:00:00.000Z

I like those words. For some reason they remind me of Puppy Linux and the penguin Linux Logo.... and I'm a fan of those. <br>I must admit that there a no Danish words that sounds like "<a href="javascript:;" title="TiddlyWiki - jermolene, 15/11/2010, 17:20:58" class="tiddlyLink tiddlyLinkExisting" refresh="link" tiddlylink="TiddlyWiki" tiddlyfields="server.type:&quot;tiddlyweb&quot; server.host:&quot;http://interview.tiddlyspace.com&quot; server.workspace:&quot;bags/mama_public&quot;">TiddlyWiki</a>" and "tiddler". They are very foreign words - and some times I just replace them with "Wiki" and "article" - however it depends on the context, and if the audience are people who already have a hunch of what a wiki is... If they don't I would most likely use grouping of words as "Instantly editable blog or homepage" and "editable posts".<br>The use of the words "<a href="javascript:;" title="TiddlyWiki - jermolene, 15/11/2010, 17:20:58" class="tiddlyLink tiddlyLinkExisting" refresh="link" tiddlylink="TiddlyWiki" tiddlyfields="server.type:&quot;tiddlyweb&quot; server.host:&quot;http://interview.tiddlyspace.com&quot; server.workspace:&quot;bags/mama_public&quot;">TiddlyWiki</a>" and "tiddler" implies originality and an entrance into a new terminology, which is very much what <a href="javascript:;" title="TiddlyWiki - jermolene, 15/11/2010, 17:20:58" class="tiddlyLink tiddlyLinkExisting" refresh="link" tiddlylink="TiddlyWiki" tiddlyfields="server.type:&quot;tiddlyweb&quot; server.host:&quot;http://interview.tiddlyspace.com&quot; server.workspace:&quot;bags/mama_public&quot;">TiddlyWiki</a> demands from new users anyway - so please keep the words, they make sense after a while..<br>
