This manual is constantly being changed and developed. It is like a working notebook rather than a finished textbook. TiddlyManuals are built to be constantly improved, and improvements rely on feedback!

I need help now!

See at the bottom of this page for some sources of help

Types of feedback:

1. Glitches - links that don't work, text that doesn't make sense, stuff that annoys you rather than helps you.
2. Omissions - stuff you think should be there, that is not there.
3. Improvements - found a bit of text, etc, that you can write better? Send it in!
4. Praise - if you must...

Feedback form:

Please fill in our online survey form (very brief!) here

Tiddlymanuals discussion group

There is a (currently not much used, but the more the merrier) Google Group for discussion of tiddlymanuals and ambit. You will need to request an invitation to join this group when you first go there. Click on the link below, and you will be able to do this.

Visit the ambit-tiddlymanuals Google Group

NOT a helpline!

The ambit project does not have the resources to run a technical helpline, although we will try to be helpful wherever we can - contact us at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. If you get stuck with a technical problem you can generally find the solution inside the manual under Using the Manual or Understanding TiddlyManual format.

Technical help:

TiddlyWiki is driven by a large and extremely helpful community of programmers, who are generally very happy to share their expertise and via the TiddlyWiki Google group they are usually quick to respond to even the simplest and least technically-adept questions!  If you are not a "techie" don't worry, just say so; the tiddlyspace project is trying very hard to simplify things so that more non-technical users can use it with ease, so your experience is extremely valuable feedback for the community.

If you post to this group:

• Title your help request as clearly as you can (it's like Marking the Task for AMBIT!)
• Tell them who you are and that this relates to the AMBIT project (the AMBIT community is an important group of "end-users"for the Tiddlyspace community.)
• Remember that the TiddlySpace community is a voluntary group, and will mostly be helping you fix things just because they are being helpful - so hold back if you are frustrated!
• Tell them briefly what you are stuck with, and give them the website URL (the address in your browser bar) so they can have a look.
•  If you can, tell them what browser you are using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc) and better still which VERSION you are using (look under the Help in your browser, and select "About Windows Explorer" etc, to find this.
• Tell them whether you are on a Mac or a PC and if you can what operating system (eg windows XP, or Windows 7, etc) this will all be helpful.
• in general questions get answered amazingly quickly as the Tiddlyspace community is worldwide, and lots of the common glitches are well understood.

You can also go to the TiddlyWiki website which has lots of links to other sources of help, as an open source project.
